I.C.E. (International Choreographic Exchange) is for creative students who have completed a professional training program and want to continue for one post graduate year specializing in choreography.
I.C.E. students are choreographers who want to work independently in an artistic environment to develop their creativity with the benefit of rehearsal space, dancers, feedback, an international faculty and performance opportunities.
I.C.E. students develop their personal curriculum with the mentor. Their possibilities of yearly study includes presentation of new choreography, a written thesis, a period of studio research, assistance to guest choreographers, production and lighting opportunities and inclusion in the New Faces, New Dances Festival curated by Susan Quinn.
Students in the I.C.E. program are allowed to take part in all of the technical classes offered in the professional training program. I.C.E. students receive written, verbal feedback and support from SEAD’s faculty during the length of study. The I.C.E. student may be granted an exemption from technical classes if working on an outside project, which may be regarded with equivalence. The I.C.E. student receives a certificate of one post graduate year after successfully completing the study.
In the 6th Session a final review (thesis) will be presented. I.C.E. students must show a final project representing their research and performance activity during their time at SEAD to an invited guest choreographer or teacher along with the I.C.E. mentor. The presentation will be reviewed and critiqued by an outside dance professional with an oral examination in which students will be expected to verbally explain their position of the project. |
