Artistic Collaboration Projects (ACO) in dance and choreography
The Artistic Collaboration Projects (ACO) bring together students from seven Uniarts and Aalto University degree programs. Over a period of five weeks, the students have explored and practiced artistic collaboration in performances based on movement and choreography. The process culminates in performances of all five works during the last week of May.
During the artistic collaboration project (ACO) students work primarily within the current framework of contemporary dance and performance, in multidisciplinary artistic working groups.
ACO is a collaborative project involving the Theatre Academy’s master’s programs in choreography, dance, lighting design, sound design, scenography, comparative dramaturgy and performance research, costume design at Aalto University, and second-year bachelor’s students in dance at the Theatre Academy.
The aim of the course is to deepen students’ understanding of the collegial, movement-based artistic process and their ability to work creatively, purposefully, and responsibly in an artistic working group. The course develops an understanding of the specific characteristics and requirements of different areas of the multidisciplinary process, enabling students to develop their artistic work through constructive negotiation and collaboration.
Students have worked in five working groups (A-E).
