Dance is a universal human activity that has always been a form of expression. That prime position of dance demands that it be explored through both experience and study.

The Dance Department on Kelvin Grove Campus, only minutes from Brisbane city, is one of four departments which make up the Queensland University of Technology's Academy of The Arts. The other discipline areas are Drama, Art and Music. Courses offered by the Department are the only accredited tertiary dance courses available in Queensland.

Employment for Queensland dancers has increased in recent years with the establishment of new professional com­panies such as Dance North in Townsville, Expressions in Brisbane and Delicardo Productions, which employs many dancers on long contract at Jupiter's Casino, Gold Coast. These new companies and The Queensland Ballet all employ significant numbers of graduates from the Dance Courses offered within the Department.

Since 1985, at least 75% of our graduates have gained professional employment in the highly competitive dance industry.

Entry to courses is competitive and the number of applicants increases each year. Interest in our courses is both national and international.

INTENTIONS

The Dance Department has designed courses for a wide range of interests in resron~e to the diverse role that dance fulfills m our contemporary community. All courses are based on the study of Classical Ballet and Contemporary Dance Technique, and the exploration, develop­m~nt and applicatio~ of choreographic sk1lls. A large proportion of course work is practical, concerned with the advanced study of a range of dance disciplines. The Associate Diploma of Arts (Dance) and the Bachelor of Arts (Dance) are linked by a common base, but each has its own focus, as determined by the range of employment possibilities in Australia.

PHILOSOPHY

The central philosophy of the Dance Department is the pursuit of excellence.

All students in the Department are expected to understand and operate in the performing, making and appreciation of dance in both artistic and social contexts.

Student pro­ductions are presented in either the Woodward Theatre on campus, or at the Princess Theatre in Woolloongabba. Students have access to extensive and up­to-date resources including dance reference books, magazines, dissertations and videos.

This three year full-time course combines both practical studies and the most comprehensive, in-depth theoretical study of dance offered in Australia. The course has a number of career pathways according to the individual's interest. Students with a solid scholastic record or ex-professional dancers desiring further study into the art form can look forward to a broad investigation into the creative, practical, historical, anatomical and analytical aspects of Dance. Selection of specialisation need not be made until mid-way the second year of study.

It is intended that this course will produce informed and articulate advocates of Dance. These artists will be capable of providing artistic leadership and initiating the community development necessary to reinforce their art form in contemporary Australian society.

The course comprises three strands of study:

1. Common Studies

Students are introduced to the art forms of Music, Literature, Dance, Drama, and Visual Arts, and briefly examine the functions of these arts through time. They investigate the nature of both the individual and group creative act, and consider the semiotics of specific art disciplines. Together these units form the basis for further studies where the issues and approaches raised are applied specifically to Dance, in both historic and current Australian contexts.

2. Discipline Studies i) Academic study, including Analysis,

History and Sociology of Dance, Dance Research and Education, and Community Dance.

ii) Conceptual/Practical Studies include Anatomy, Alignment, Music and Composition.

iii) Practical Studies - tuition in both Classical and Contemporary Dance styles with performance work com­mencing in the second year.

3. Elective Studies

Students undertake elective studies in their second and third years, choosing a program to relate to their career choice. For example, they may take advanced work in Choreography, Performance, the Media Studies, Arts Administration or work towards a career in High School teaching. Students wishing to proceed to High School teaching take their elective studies in another single discipline area, e.g. English, Science or Physical Education. The flexible elective program draws on the widely varied courses offered at the Queensland University of Technology to meet the individual student's career direction.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Applicants should have:

~~ Secondary education to the level of Year 12 with four semesters of 'Sound Achievement' in English. The Student Profile will also be considered.

~~ Appropriate practical experience in Classical, Contemporary or Jazz dance. Sound knowledge of Classical Technique is an advantage but not essential

~~ Senior Dance desirable

All applicants must apply through QTAC and attend metropolitan, regional or interstate auditions (see information in this booklet under AUDITIONS) . Appli­cants are required to supply a medical certificate.

iE- Prepare students for auditions with portfolio photographs, resumes and knowledge of employment oppor­tunities.

Students will be involved in a number of Dance Department productions. These performances are held in the Woodward Theatre on campus and at the Princess Theatre in Woolloongabba. The produc­tions are professionally run with full lighting, sets and costumes designed and constructed by the technical and costume staff of the university.

Graduates of the Associate Diploma course have chosen to work in many areas of the dance profession including:-

Casino, Qld) * Expo 88 (Qld) * West Australian Ballet

2) Freelance Choreography

3) Teaching in private studios

Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to work with visiting international and interstate artists TPnowned for the quality of work in their

specific field. Guest lecturers are involved in teaching either master classes, or leading residences (ie classes and choreo­graphic workshops), which often result in a new work for the University.

The strong professional backgrounds of the teaching staff ensure students are prepared for the dance industry. Students have regular feedback from staff about their progress and are given guidance in choosing a career path. All staff have close ties with the industry and are conversant with its needs.

The course is physically and mentally demanding, with many hours of teaching contact. The facilities are purpose built and the Queensland climate encourages a healthy and happy working environment.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

* Secondary education to the level of Year 12 or equivalent is normally required * Classical Ballet studies to Intermediate level RAD or equivalent are normally required

Special consideration may be given to students showing extraordinary potential.

ALL applicants must apply through QTAC, satisfy a metropolitan, regional or interstate audition, an interview, and supply a medical certificate. (See infor­mation under Auditions).

The Dance Department QUI is the only tertiary institution which offers a four year program of study to qualify teachers of Dance for the Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary School systems.

For those wishing to specialise in Secondary Education the BA Dance course provides an elective area of study to qualify students in a second teaching area e.g. English, History, Science, Maths, Physical Education and Commercial Studies.

The pathway for this qualification is through the BA dance course which offers units designed specifically for people with a teaching career focus. Following this three year course students apply for entry to the Graduate Diploma course in early childhood, primary or secondary teaching.

The job market for qualified Dance teachers has grown rapidly over the past few years such that the demand now far outweighs the number of teachers quali­fying.

Senior Dance is a Pilot Syllabus of the Board of Senior Secondary School Studies. In 1990 the number of students of Senior

Dance had increased to 951 in 26 State high schools. Since 1980 there have been restrictions on the number of schools able to offer this subject. When this is lifted in the near future it is widely acknowledged that many schools throughout the State will want to introduce the subject. Another major development in the area of arts education is in the curriculum development for schools in grades 1 - 10. The arts (including Drama, Dance, Art, Media and Music) is now recognised as one of the curriculum areas in 1-10 education. Teachers with specific arts training in one or more of the arts areas will therefore be in great demand by the mid 1990's.

If you have studied dance and would like to utilise the skill and information you have gained then consider a career as a Dance teacher. This career path offers you the prospect of job security on graduation from university in an area that is of interest to you.

Current dance teachers and ex-professional dancers are also encouraged to apply. Credit may be granted from your previous experience.

Do I have to have a classical ballet background to do a course?

It depends. For the ADA (Dance), which is a straight performance course, you need to have classical ballet. Whilst it is an advantage for the other courses, it is not necessary if you have a natJ.tral facility for dance, and meet our other entry require­ments. The level of classical ballet required varies according to the standard of applicants each year.

I want to teach Dance in secondary school. Which course should I take?

If you want Dance to be your major teaching area, you would take an elective package in the BA which would give you a second discipline area (e.g. Drama, or Physical Education) . You would then apply for a place in the Graduate Diploma of Teaching for a fourth year of training which focuses on high school teaching.

Are there jobs for dance teachers in the Queensland Department of Education?

Yes. There has been a very rapid growth in the introduction of the Senior Dance Syllabus into Queensland schools, so the demand for qualified dance teachers is high.

Can I apply for more than one course that you offer?

Yes. Take care to put them in the order of your preference on the QTAC application form.

I live in Mt. Isa. Do I have to come to Brisbane to audition?

If you will be down in Brisbane at the time of auditions (after exams), it would be best to come to the large group audition days. However, we shall be holding regional auditions in November/December (see AUDITIONS) . No one will be considered without a live audition.

For audition appointments contact Megan Piggott on (07) 352 8423.

If I do the ADA (Dance), could I go on to do the degree?

It is possible by invitation. It may also be possible to do the degree first, then apply to the ADA. You could be given up to one year's credit for the first course you took towards the second so that you only take four years of study to complete both courses.

If I'm not admitted, can I apply in future?

Certainly. As the standard of applicants varies from year to year, so do the entrance requirements. You are welcome to reapply if your first application is unsuccessful.

Where can I get other information?
