Mapping the Terrain – Entrepreneurship and Professional Practice in Dance Higher Education
PALATINE worked on an innovative research project funded by the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship (NCGE) seeking to map enterprise and entrepreneurship within HE Dance programmes.
Susanne Burns (Liverpool John Moores University) worked as the lead consultant working with Ralph Brown and Paul Kleiman from PALATINE on the project.
The project was a multi dimensional mapping exercise that sought to investigate approaches to enterprise and professional practice in dance, especially mapping projects within the dance sector that bring together the dance profession and HE. The project helped to define what partnership can achieve.
We sought to identify the scale of provision and by investigating a sample identified models of good practice and examples of partnership between the dance sector and HE.
Initial findings from the research were presented at the International Entrepreneurship Educators Conference, York 2006. PowerPoint slides from this presentation are available to download (PDF 1Mb).
Detailed case studies were presented at The Dancer’s World of Work symposium organised by PALATINE that took place at Lancaster University on November 16 2006.
The project report, Mapping Dance, is now available.
The momentum and outcomes that the project generated fed directly into two major dance research projects - the Dance Training and Accreditation Project undertaken by a consortium of leading arts and training organisations, and the Dance Mapping project undertaken by Dance UK.
