Speaker: Professor Anna CY CHAN, Dean of the School of Dance, HKAPA
擁有一個舞蹈藝術學位能為你帶來甚麼職業前景？專業的舞蹈訓練是否只能讓你成為舞者、舞蹈老師或編舞家而已？其實，舞蹈畢業生的職業選擇及工作機會繁多，因為課程除了講求動作和美學的培訓，亦能給予學生很多實用的職場技能。舞蹈學院院長陳頌瑛教授將透過是次講座，講解香港演藝學院舞蹈學院如何裝備學生成為21世紀的表演藝術家。
What does a Dance degree offer you for future job options? Is it only training to become a dancer, dance teacher or maybe a choreographer? Contrary to those frequent misconceptions, there are a range of career paths and job opportunities for dance graduates. Dance majors bring a wealth of workplace skills besides “movements” and “aesthetic”. In this talk, Professor Anna CY Chan, Dean of the School of Dance, will share how the School nurtures their students as 21st century performing artists.
