Throughout LTA1, we achieved several key milestones in refining the curriculum structure, including determining credits shared across the entire program, identifying courses or modules aligned with expectations from each academic partner, and outlining the recruitment process. Additionally, we engaged in collective reflection on integrating the central mission of inclusion at every stage.

We also made significant progress in drafting the communication policy and discussing the website’s requirements among partners. Furthermore, deliberations led to the decision to rename the future master’s degree to the more inclusive “International Master in Performance and Creative Technologies in Dance,” avoiding Eurocentric terms like “choreography.” We collaborated on crafting a program mission and pitch sheet, addressing fundamental questions that informed other work packages.

Regarding the glossary, we agreed to transform it into a collaborative platform integrated into the website. In the realm of research, we defined research-creation, developed an initial framework for research throughout the program, and outlined requirements and formats for research processes, including links to students’ artistic projects and the framework for final presentations.

Active participation from De Singel and Les Subs contributed to reflections on the nature and format of courses, interventions, and workshops aimed at enhancing professionalization and employability. Additionally, we gathered feedback on research topics from professionals and initiated discussions on promoting them within their respective institutions.
