MFA Dance Concerts
M.F.A. Dance Concerts are platforms for M.F.A. students to integrate concepts from across the required core courses (Representation, Collaboration, Improvisation, and Experimentation) and develop over several quarters a clear choreographic inquiry. Experimental in nature, M.F.A. Dance Concerts may take different forms to demonstrate the M.F.A. student's thorough investigation and committed execution of a defined aesthetic concern. The concerts are as much an investigation into process as performance, and M.F.A. students are challenged to produce complex, engaging, and exciting new work through the application of experimental choreographic methods introduced in their individual project proposals.

M.F.A. Dance Concerts are in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Fine Arts degree in Dance.
