International ChoreoLab Austria (ICLA) is a pilot project of Danube University Krems in cooperation with Tanz Atelier Wien. This project is dedicated to providing continuous education in the context of dance and choreography on a university level. The main focus of the project is to foster discourse on an expanded understanding of choreography, which links contemporary dance, theoretical excursions und performative training across the disciplines.
During the preparatory phase for the “Choreography” syllabus, innovative approaches to theory and practice of contemporary dance and choreography will be investigated in 2009/2010 and both contextually relevant theories and music and drama taught in three project modules. The target group includes dancers and choreographers as well as others professionals from neighboring scientific fields. The course is taught in English. A number of partial scholarships are being offered.
The project enjoys the support of Land Niederösterreich and Raiffeisenlandesbank NÖ-Wien AG.
