Course content

The MA Dance Practice and Performance is a highly practical programme designed to help you advance, develop and reimagine your dance practice. You will encounter a range of dance practices, including dance techniques, improvisation, performance, choreographic practice and devising, alongside the theories that support them. The curriculum focuses on practical, contextual and industry-based explorations of dance performance, allowing you to expand your sense of self as a practitioner.

You will engage in advanced studio practice, creative collaboration and independent practice research, supported by seminars, workshops, rehearsals, hybrid sessions and tutorials. Most teaching takes place in specialist studios, as well as seminar rooms, digital labs, theatres and site-specific locations. The programme culminates in an independent performance project designed to present your artistic direction and research interests.
