The student is encouraged to critically observe some of the most significant choreographies of the 19th and 20th centuries through the analysis of audiovisual materials in order to grasp both the linguistic and aesthetic aspects and the historical and cultural ones of the era in which the examined works were created. Moreover, the student will be able to reflect on the actuality and function of the choreographies’ remake and re-enactment.
