Course summary

Course Summary

Contemporary Performance Practices breaks traditional disciplinary borders to explore how performance can help us respond to social, environmental, and ecological changes and challenges. The Programme provides a unique and tailored education to prepare graduates for new opportunities within the performing arts industry. The curriculum centres on a dynamic blend of critical, practice-based engagement with performance across artistic genres and disciplines; from experimental theatre, music, dance and community-based practices, to live art, interactive and participatory performance, sound art, and installation.

What You'll Learn

Our course responds to the creative industry demands of today by developing multi-skilled artists that are simultaneously practitioners, scholars and creative producers. This course will enable students to articulate and ‘own’ the value of the practice within and outside the arts industries. You will work individually with course leaders to find appropriate links with existing organisations for professional placements. You will have the opportunity to present your final work in a professional venue which hosts internationally acclaimed artists.

Your Future Career

Graduates from MA Contemporary Performance Practices have gone on to secure funding for their projects, create new artist networks, produce international projects, create new festivals, curate interdisciplinary events and have their projects programmed in a variety of festivals, venues and conferences since 2016. From 2019, UEL will offer an MFA route to this programme, as well as options to progress to PhD.
