25 years of dance and theatre pedagogy at the University of the Arts Helsinki

Aapo Juusti

The anniversary will be celebrated at the Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki on Thursday 15th of december 2022! The programme of the day includes, among other things, a seminar and a cocktail party.

The theme of the day is research in the field of performing arts pedagogy. We reflect on the significance, current state and future of research in the field. We ask who is interested in research in the field, who benefits from it, and who is responsible for developing research in the pedagogy of the performing arts.

The speeches of the seminar in the programme will be interpreted into English.
