The One-Year Movement Directing Program trains and develops a practical understanding of what it is to act, move, perform, and direct, enabling you to work as a performers' trainer, coach, choreographer, theatre practitioner and a director of movement.

​

The year is divided into two semesters. Students in the program receive over 500 hours of hands-on instruction and actual experience.

 

The curriculum integrates intensive study in all the major topics including how to:

• Create an approach through research and practice in movement methodologies and through specialist teaching;

• Utilize pedagogical tools for coaching, movement directing and teaching performers;

• Develop advanced interpersonal, facilitation, coaching, pedagogy skills and many more.

​

All students create, perform, write, act, direct, participate in intensive training, get distant tasks and work in multidisciplinary and multicultural contexts.

​

As in all NIPAI programs, the one-year course emphasizes hands-on learning. During the studies, you may expect to encounter work associated with classical methods and modern approaches. Teaching methods include tutorials, group seminars, distant learning and workshops.

​

All students pursuing a certificate program at The New International Performing Arts Institute must be proficient in English and earn a bachelor's degree (at a minimum) or an acceptable equivalent. Applicants must also submit a Creative Portfolio, more details on Entry Requirements.
