Graduate Teaching Fellowship in Dance
Course Description
Summary
Graduate Teaching Fellows in Dance are integrated into the dance program as teaching assistants. In consultation with their academic advisors and the dance faculty, MFA candidates develop an assistantship schedule of approximately ten hours weekly; the courses they develop and teach are listed in the curriculum. All Teaching Fellows bring their own professional histories and contribute their own manners of teaching. Outside of listed class times, TBD, the Teaching Fellows will meet to discuss their courses, with the designated faculty and with each other. Furthermore, they will play an active role in the weekly meetings and events of the Dance Program, including Dance Workshop.
