Carolien Hermans
Carolien Hermans is currently a PhD student in the department of Theatre Studies at Utrecht University. She studies under the guidance of Dr. Liesbeth Wildschut and Prof. Folkert Haanstra and her research is supported by the Lectoraat for Arts Education at the Amsterdam School of the Arts.
Carolien Hermans studied art history, dance and orthopedagogy. She graduated cum laude from the Orthopedagogy Department at the University of Nijmegen in 1994, was a guest student at the School for New Dance Development at the Amsterdam School for the Arts 1998-2000 and graduated from Dance Unlimited, a postgraduate study into choreography and new media at the Amsterdam School for the Arts in 2004.
During 1994-1998, Hermans was a junior teacher and researcher in the Orthopedagogy Department at the University of Nijmegen. Her research involved a quantitative analysis of clinical decision making processes in multi-disciplinary teams and was based on Montgomery’s model of decision rules and information processing strategies. Her research was under the guidance of Prof. De Bruyn. During 2004-2009, Hermans was a member of two Lectoraats at the Amsterdam School for the Arts: Art Theory and Research, and Art Practice and Development. Her practice-based research was titled: "Embodied experiences in dance: the way repetition and disappearance function in the construction of meaning." The project aimed at rethinking the relationship between choreography, representation and subjectivity, with a strong focus on developments within the field of new dance, specifically dances that initiate a critique of representation by the acts of disappearance and repetition.
Carolien Hermans teaches regularly at the Amsterdam School of the Arts and has been an advisor to Dance at Kunstfactor since May, 2009.
