Call for papers – International Conference on Creativity in Dance
The research on dance from a theoretical perspective began in the early 20th century. And the first PhD thesis in choreography is published in the world only at the end of the same century, namely in 1990. Even the study programmes at the higher education level were long based solely on practical disciplines. As a result, the existence of scientific manifestations in choreography has been recorded only occasionally. In this context, UNATC “I.L. Caragiale” is organizing the first academic event in Romania dedicated to choreographic research, entitled: International Conference on Creativity in Dance, with the aim of supporting the development of critical and theoretical studies in dance from as complex a perspective as possible. The conference proceedings are conducted along three directions, represented by the panels: therapy, education, and aesthetics, which once again demonstrate the diversity of approaches that dance can inspire.
The duration of a lecture is 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes for questions. The allocated time cannot be exceeded!
The lectures are followed by a debate (round table), led by the Guest Speaker, which lasts for 1 hour.
