Abstract [en]
The purpose of the bachelor thesis is to, from a didactic perspective, gain increased knowledge about how an artistic practice can be used in dance education. The study is conducted through a qualitative research method using the practice Dancing is... . For the research, four practice-based investigations were conducted in a dance studio. To analyze the result, coding was used as a method to identify various themes. The themes identified in the study were as follow: The body and its functions, Multilingualism, Passive-activity, Sensing the body, Seperation of the body and self, Attention and its direction, Drawings, Questions, Problem-formulations, Spatial direction, A composition-everything is happening simultaneously. These themes reflect MTS (Moving Through Stillness) as a practice and are components that can be used in dance education by creating a pedagogical structure. Moreover, since MTS has a somatic and artistic approach, this study provides a nuanced apporach to how these perspectives can be incorporated into dance education. As a result, this contributes to an increased understanding of how an artistic practice can be used in dance education.
