Course content
This MA is for emerging, mid or late career artists with a participatory or community dance practice alongside artists who work with body-based arts activism.
This Masters has two, 2-week residencies per year based at The Place. The rest of the course will be delivered online through tutor-led seminars, lectures, discussions, creative collaborations and exchanges. The course can be completed in one year full-time, or two and a half years part-time and begins in September 2023.
The MA places thoughtful ethics at the heart of socially engaged creative processes. This course focuses on artistic co-creation, engaging critically with power dynamics in participatory work and positioning projects in a dialogue with their socio-political context. The course offers you one to one mentoring to support your individual explorations. You will apply your learning within the communities in which you practise, wherever you are in the world, while exchanging with an international network of peers and teachers.
