Methodological Approaches for Interpreting the History of Dance: In conversation with a Doctor of Dance Studies


Listen Later

Dance Education Canada believes strongly that all areas of dance research, science, medicine and studies can and should inform our practice as dance educators. Included in that list of valuable subject areas for dance educators is dance history. Dance history is so important to us that we’ve included it as a subject in Part 2 of our dance teacher training program. Today we have the honour and privilege of speaking with a Doctor of Dance Studies from Norway, Dr. Elizabeth Svarstad.
GUEST: Dr. Elizabeth Svarstad is a dancer, choreographer, teacher and researcher specializing in historical dance and dance history. She holds a BA in dance from the Norwegian Ballet Academy and a Nordic Master of Arts in Dance Studies from The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), University of Copenhagen and Stockholm University. She defended her PhD in dance studies at the Department of music at NTNU with the project Dance as social education in Norway 1750–1820. She has studied baroque dance in France, England and the US and is well established as the only specialist baroque dancer in Norway. She has taught historical dance and dance history at Norway's performing arts institutions and universities and is currently a lecturer at Oslo National Academy of the Arts and the Norwegian Academy of Music. In 2019 she was awarded the Parelius Prize for deserved artists.
