Dear Colleagues,

events
taking place later this month:
There is no charge to UK HE delegates attending any of these
events.
You can book by e-mailing Barbara Hargreaves at:
*************************************************************
1) 'Calculating
Risk: assessment, ethics and risk assessment in
durational and site-based performance work with/by
students'
Thursday 21 January - Friday 22 January 2010
Roland
Levinsky Building
University of Plymouth
Booking
Deadline - Friday 8 January 2010
This symposium is part of a wider programme of events associated
with
'The Pigs of Today are the Hams of Tomorrow', a collaboration
between
the Plymouth Arts Centre and the internationally renowned
performance
artist Marina Abramovic.
Durational performance has been the defining aspect of
Marina
Abramovic's work for the past forty years.
Tying in with the themes of foundation and generation in the work
of the
newly formed Abramovic Foundation, this event intends to bring
together
teachers in further and higher education to explore the issues
(e.g.
assessment, ethical, risk, health and safety) involved in
durational and
site-based performance work with/by students.
The event aims to:
*share
best practice from within the sector;
*develop strategies to safely support students in the
creation
of
'risky' work in an increasingly health and safety conscious
pedagogic context;
*discuss roles and responsibilities of teaching staff in
non-traditional performance contexts.
Details of travel information and accommodation for delegates
attending
this event are available on the following web page:

2) 'Teaching
Composition'
Monday
25 January 2010
Room
CAMG/01, Creative Arts Building
Department of Music, University of Huddersfield
Booking Deadline - Monday 11 January 2010
This event is intended to open out discussion on current
approaches and
challenges in the field of teaching music composition in
Higher
Education.
The event is framed as a 'big conversation' between participants.
It
aims to provide an opportunity for the sharing of ideals, ideas
and
approaches to pedagogy and an open forum for the discussion
of
methodological and other concerns.
The morning session will present position papers from invited
speakers
and formulate and formalise the questions to be discussed in
the
afternoon.
The afternoon session will take the form of a series of
chaired
round-table discussions, which will be drawn together at the end
of the
day. It is hoped that the outcomes will be written up in some way
in
order to capture and share the thinking that emerges.
Details of travel information and accommodation for delegates
attending
this event are available on the following web page:

3) 'Teaching Popular
Dance in Higher Education'
Tuesday
26 Jan 2010
Institute for Performing Arts Development Dance Centre
(Trinity Buoy Wharf)
University of East London
Booking Deadline - Monday 18 January 2010
Most higher education dance degrees are built around contemporary
dance
styles. This workshop aims to explore the inclusion of popular
dance
styles (such as street, hip-hop, etc.) at undergraduate degree
level and
also to share teaching and learning strategies for developing
these
styles.
The workshop aims to:
* explore programmes/modules which include
popular dance styles;
* share practice around teaching popular dance
styles in higher
education;
* demonstrate the importance of including such
styles within higher
education.
The workshop reflects the growing number of students interested
in dance
forms other than contemporary dance at higher education. Like
the
popular music degrees which came before, new dance degrees which
focus
on other dance styles need to share their practice to establish a
place
within the university setting.

attending
this event are available on the following web page:
