*Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Department, we will be pausing our intake of new graduate students for the Academic Year of 2022-23. This hiatus will allow us to ensure that the strengths of our graduate programs continue and that all our graduate students receive the best experience possible.
MFA in Dance: Choreography | Collaboration | Creation
The MFA in Dance Program: ‘Choreography | Collaboration | Creation’ reflects the ways many contemporary artists are working today. This student-centered, experiential program encourages students to work collaboratively with other graduate students from a wide-range of disciplines, and to successfully find their own creative voice. In addition to a foundation focus on choreography, the use of digital technology in support of dance will be encouraged through course-work and access to leading-edge technology.
If you have further questions contact: Mary Fogarty, Graduate Program Director (maryf@yorku.ca).
