MA Dance Practice and Performance

Applicants are required to provide a link to a short film (10 minutes maximum) of them dancing. This can be a solo dance, or an excerpt from a class or performance setting where the applicant is clearly identified in the film. The work should be accompanied by a short written statement (<250 words) which reveals the applicant’s interest in developing their performance practice.

By the end of your degree, you’ll have discovered your artistic direction, developed the skills to express it, and gained the readiness and confidence to begin a professional career.

You will:

Graduate with still and moving images and text to create a portfolio that represents you to the industry
Benefit from industry guest workshops on current professional projects, working practices, language and social networks, and Q&A sessions on entering the industry
Emerge with the ability to locate and represent your specific practices, interests, and skills within a cultural marketplace.
You’ll also graduate with skills beyond the scope of a performer, including communication, project management, and collaborative feedback models. These skills could lead you into a range of roles in the arts, such as teaching, curation, studio management, arts administration, producing, and research.
