Core modules:
Performance Company
Gives the opportunity to work with a practitioner/artist relevant to professional level UK and international contemporary practice. You will work as an ensemble to develop interdisciplinary work for public performance. This work will enable you to develop artistic and collaborative strategies and methodologies.
Research into Performance
Engages specifically with critical, theoretical and methodological approaches to research into performance. It addresses strategies and methods used by practitioner-researchers; critical vocabularies; ethics; the purposes and contexts of research and the perspective of the researcher.
Perspectives
Develops an approach to the study of performance in relation to a range of perspectives from contemporary practitioners, theorists and philosophers. Areas of study are approached from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Performance Making
Enables you as an artist to re-investigate your creative processes in studio/laboratory contexts. The module considers issues and practices key to current performance making.
Negotiated Study
Allows you to pursue a programme of self-directed study, which will be agreed with an individual supervisor via a learning contract. You can choose a relevant research topic to focus on, which will further your development as an independent practitioner/scholar.
Final Major Project
Enables you to undertake independent study and research into an area directly related to your course of study and to produce either practical work with accompanying written documentation, or an all written submission.
