Performance and Environment

MA Performance and Environment is an exciting programme that lets you put environmental politics at the heart of your creative practice. Studio based learning and collaboration with local partners support the development of a portfolio of performance projects through a variety of artistic forms.

Explore ecological philosophy

Students explore performance as a form of ecological thinking (Morton); creating a site-specific practice that responds to ecological contexts.

The course foregrounds artists and practices that engage with ecological philosophy; de-stabilising anthropocentrism and troubling the concept of ‘nature’. Students will work alongside external partners, developing a performance practice within specific locations of ecological interest.
