A primary issue for dance education and training is ensuring that the “trained body” is equipped for the range of activity today's dance practitioner will encounter. Modern dance techniques offer a breadth of knowledge on numerous and inter-related levels, encompassing the physical, physiological, artistic, historical, musical, and analytical. This paper will consider the relevance and benefits that “traditional” modern dance training can have on today's dancer. Issues addressed will include what our students are using technique for; what a codified dance technique can offer; and the progression to a “trained body” and how this can be achieved.

UNSTRUCTURED Objective In surgery electronic healthcare systems offer numerous options to improve patient care. Aim of this study was to analyse the current status of digitalisation and its influence in surgery, with a special focus on surgical education and training. Methods An individually created questionnaire was used to analyse the subjective assessment of the digitalisation processes in clinical surgery. The online questionnaire consisted of 16 questions regarding the importance and the corresponding implementation of the teaching contents: big data, health apps, messenger apps, telemedicine, data protection/IT security, ethics, simulator training, economics and e-learning were included. The participation link was sent to members of the German Society of Surgery via the e-mail distribution list. Results In total, 119 surgeons (response rate = 19.8 %) took part in the survey. 18.5 % of them were trainees (TR). 81.5 % had already completed specialist training (SP). 66.4 % confirm a positive influence of digitalisation on the quality of patient care. The presence of a surgical robot was confirmed by 47.9 % of the participants. 22.0 % (n=26) of the participants confirm the possibil-ity of using virtual simulators. According to 79.0 % of the participants, the integration of digital technologies in surgical education for basic and advanced stage surgeons should be aimed for. Data protection (1.7) and e-Learning (1.7) were rated as the most important teaching content. The greatest discrepancy between importance and implementation was seen in the teaching content of big data (mean: 2.2 to 3.8). Conclusion The results of the survey reveal the particular importance of digitalisation content for surgery, surgical education and training. At the same time, the results underline the desire for in-creased integration of digital competence teaching. The data also show an overall more pro-gressive and optimistic perception of TR. In order to meet the challenges of the digital trans-formation, the implementation of suitable curricula, including virtual simulation-based training and blended-learning teaching concepts should be emphasized.
