Background: Dance Unlimited Amsterdam

Established in 2002, Dance Unlimited (DU) Amsterdam is a unique two-year masters program (currently a postgraduate program but will be validated as a Masters from 2007) supporting the study of the relationship between choreography, performance and new media technologies. The program takes the development of choreographic work as its starting point, and new media technologies and practices are approached from this perspective. Theoretical and critical reflection is used as a means to challenge and support the practical work; and collaboration is emphasized. The DU staff comprises internationally known artists and researchers: Scott deLahunta, Sher Doruff, Jeroen Fabius (coordinator), Thomas Lehmen and Susan Rethorst.

I don't believe the Dance Unlimited program is accredited as a Masters, so it is effectively a trade school / certificate program.

There is some controversy surrounding the fact that the D.U. administration continue to publicize the program as a "Masters" or "Advanced Degree" when it is not.

The previous comment from the anonymous poster "J" is partly correct; Dance Unlimited has not been an accredited Master degree in the first four years of the existence of the program. It has been usually appropriately referred to as a post-graduate study program, but I have seen it occasionally misrepresented (never knowingly by us). This year we will be accredited as an official University of Professional Education Master Degree for students starting in September 2006 (see http://nvao.net for some information on this process). Those students who participated in the first four years understood that the program was not accredited. Best, Scott
