Soloedition

As part of the SOLOEDITION format, graduating BA Dance students at the Centre for Contemporary Dance / University of Music and Dance Cologne offer insights into their artistic practice. With a focus on deepening and further developing their own dance artistry and in close connection to their chosen profile (Performative Practice or Dance Mediation), the students create performative solo works. They are each mentored by professionals from the fields of choreography, dance, dramaturgy, or performance, whom they select based on their individual interests and focus areas.
