The Specialist Diploma: Choreological Studies: Contemporary Developments in Rudolf Laban’s Principles and Practice is a vocational course to support existing and emergent artists and educators working in the movement industries in achieving competency in the practical exploration, experimentation and application of Choreological Studies.

 

"As an analytical tool for observing, creating, performing and directing performance, choreological studies enables our students to evaluate their practice. It provides them with the means to develop and enhance their practice as well as facilitating integration of theory and practice as studio-based scholarship."
