POST-PANDEMIC CHALLENGES IN THE SPECIALTY OF DANCE AT THE FACULTY OF PERFORMING ARTS (FARES) OF THE PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DEL PERÚ (PUCP)

Abstract

This article focuses on the different perspectives and experiences of faculty and students in the Dance specialization at the Faculty of Performing Arts (Fares) of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) regarding the return to in-person classes after two years of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study was to identify the impact on methodological learning activities, as well as the opportunities or challenges of adapting to the new educational context. To achieve this, a series of interviews were conducted with faculty members and students in the specialization during and after the
lockdown. Additionally, impressions are presented regarding the creations made by the students during that period. All the reflections made with faculty and students will lead to outlining six priorities that our dance program at the university must embrace, concluding that appropriate ways should be found to ensure these reflections reach our students, or to persist in a policy that decides to turn them into actions.
