Course summary

If you are seeking the opportunity to focus on innovative creative practice as a dance performer, choreographer, film maker or educator, and would like to challenge yourself and step into new territory, this is the course for you. It is carefully designed to help you develop your practice and knowledge at a professional level. Offering expert tuition and exploration of creative dance making, compositional forms, research methods and critical frameworks, you will receive support to realise your creative ambitions, developing your creative dance skills, theoretical understanding and research interests. Our modules cover advanced-level teaching in essential theories and practices, performance and creative approaches, technological platforms, areas of research strategy, analysis, documentation and essay writing. During your MA studies, you will undertake either a written research dissertation or a practical project, leading to the production of a substantial piece of creative work (for example, a substantive performance, workshop, lecture or event). The foundation of this course is our belief in artistic development through active self-discovery, enabling you to execute your own highly engaging and creative work. Teaching takes place at our Creative Campus, Kingsway, which offers large and impressive dance studios with cutting-edge technology. These studios are available for you to book throughout the year. There is a library and canteen, as well as Mac-based computer suites and a huge range of equipment loan stock available to you as part of your course.
