MA

MA Contemporary Performance offers the opportunity to focus on theoretical and practical approaches to this discipline, to explore a broad range of methodologies, and to strengthen individual performancemaking skills. The course will appeal to students who are inspired by engagement with a diverse range of performance possibilities including live art, digital, post-text, and radical theatre practice and who are stimulated by the potential to work with other students on cross-disciplinary collaborations. Graduates from an arts background who are interested in becoming part of the next generation of International contemporary performance artists, theorists, critics, or dramaturgs will be encouraged to develop their understanding of professional practice through the exploration and interrogation of themes such as audience, staging, and identity, in relation to the delivery of live and mediated performance.
