Dance: Embodied Interdisciplinary Praxis

专业详情

The Master of Fine Arts in Dance: Embodied Interdisciplinary Praxis (MFAEIP) is a two-year, full-time, terminal degree program grounded in Duke’s interdisciplinary approach. We encourage research that responds to urgent global issues and joins critical conversations both within and beyond the arts.

In addition to undertaking advanced study in movement traditions and choreographic practices, MFAEIP students are required to pursue substantial study –five graduate courses—in disciplines outside of dance. MFAEIP students design research projects in collaboration with dance and non-dance faculty and often stage thesis actions in collaboration with Duke’s research centers, institutes, and community partner organizations.

MFAEIP students can choose to pursue additional graduate certificates in African and African American Studies, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, or College Teaching during their four semesters in the program.

During the summer of year one , MFAEIP students hone creative strategies and refine their thesis proposals alongside acclaimed guest artists through the MFAEIP Summer Hothouse, an arts research incubator curated and sponsored by the Duke Dance Program in collaboration with the American Dance Festival.
