Mediation is an essential part of the development of a pluralist choreographic artist, and plays an important role in the Master's degree course for dance performers. In order to be in a better position to tackle mediation activities on tour, and then the preparation of the mediation project for the validation of the diploma, an introductory seminar on the issues and techniques involved in the mediation of works, specific to choreographic art, co-constructed with the Centre national de la danse, a resource centre on choreographic issues, invites students to question their relationship to their discipline, to shift their point of view, and to become aware of the different contexts in which works and choreographic gestures are received.
After learning about the various public policies and the successive societal issues that have led to the development of mediation in the artistic and choreographic fields, the students will use practical situations and role-playing to explore the various possible contexts that they may encounter initially within the Master's programme and subsequently in their professional careers.
