Changes I’d make to my study pogram

As I said in the class, I find that every  course we have is necessary. Actually, I think that there are some courses we should have and we don’t. For example, we should learn about physical injuries, anatomy, nutrition, self care, etc. We have some brushstrokes of those topics, but the career doesn’t give them the relevance I think they should have, and they expose those themes not in the beginning of the career, so the first years we just practice without knowing anything about our bodies and how to take care of them.

About the professors, in general I am so grateful about having the experience to learn and dance with them. Also, there are some teachers who make me think that their classes shouldn't be there, but then I know that that knowledge is very important and the problem is the teacher, meaning that he or she doesn’t know how to teach, or doesn’t prepare the class at all, at least it seems that way. It happened to me with two courses this year, or with two teachers to be more specific. One of them is "CFBT-Estética", and the second one is with a dance teacher who  teaches dance theory.

Talking about something else, I would add some classes for all the art faculty. I think we should have collective classes such as visual arts, drama or music, etc. We should be trained with a transdiciplinary approach, which "forces" us to work together and have an integral education as future art professionals. About this, I also think we should all (all the art faculty students from all three locations) study at the same building, in the same campus. The fact that we are separate in  different locations, shows how divided and isolated is our formation and study program.
