Connection of theory and practice
FB7/ZZT offers students an active connection to a heterogeneous professional field through regional, national and international cooperations and promotes ongoing professionalization, internationalization and an interdisciplinary, professional exchange.
To this end, it develops cross-disciplinary and cross-curricular formats that combine artistic projects with theoretical and historical reflection, or pedagogical and artistic practice, and exemplifies a connection between theory and practice. FB7/ZZT has a highly qualified, committed and cooperating team that develops and networks teaching and projects in a lively exchange.
Dance education benefits from the cooperation with international partner universities, dance science from the unique possibility of a permanent cooperation with the German Dance Archive Cologne, dance education from cooperations with the Quartier am Hafen Cologne, among others. In addition, continuous discussions and detailed feedback, mentoring as well as project-related work identify the center as a place where the development of methodological procedures are both the content and the method of teaching.
Performance Projects
The goal of the BA Dance program is the artistic training of technically skilled, body-conscious, reflexive and competitive dancers and performers. The dance studies at the ZZT are characterized by a close cooperation between education and the professional field. An important part of the curriculum are performance projects, in which the future dancers and dance mediators deal with the working methods of renowned contemporary choreographers or perform their own choreographies. Performance practice is seen as an integral part of the training, whereby students can also gain experience within the production-oriented areas of a dance performance, i.e. in dramaturgy and public relations on the one hand, and in stage realization, lighting and sound on the other.
Transposium
2019
Transposium #1: Transcorporealities.
- November 23, 2019, 10:00 a.m. - 7:30 p.m., Center for Contemporary Dance and Museum Ludwig.
- With: Antonia Baehr, Allison Brown, Artmann&Duvoisin, Lars Frers, Jana Griess, Isaac Hidrobo, Brigitte Marielos Huezo, Paulina Jürges, Miriam Leysner, Nick Mauss, Leonie Radine, Miriam Rieck, Constanze Schellow, Camilla Schielin, Josefine Simonsen, Christoph Speit, Sebastian Varra, Gosie Vervloessem, Haitang Zhang.
A symposium of a different kind, Transposium #1 at the Center for Contemporary Dance (ZZT) brings together deliberately undisciplined artistic and scholarly perspectives on transcorporealities (...). Lecture performances, a 'lecture exhibition', research and impulses from the fields of dance, performance, theater studies and sociology meet each other. In the afternoon, the program will continue at the museum with excerpts of a body-based tour format designed by an artistic-scientific collective of FB7/ZZT alumni. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity in the collection to visit the work Tract on the Veil by Nick Mauss, whose choreography was developed together with and will be performed by students. The transposium will conclude with a conversation in the museum foyer between the artist and the participating dancers about the joint work.
The direct dialogue between museum and dance practice, in which the Center for Contemporary Dance and the Museum Ludwig have entered at eye level and guided by curiosity, respect and interest, offers the possibility of opening up and making accessible to each other perspectives of dancers and visual artists, curators and scholars, press departments, security guards and administrative bodies.
The cooperation was part of Konstellationen, an initiative that promotes joint projects by actors and institutions from the fields of dance and visual arts to mark the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus in North Rhine-Westphalia.
