Programme structure

The vision of MA Performance Practices is to foster a de-disciplined and diverse intellectual environment that uses performance as a strategy for building equality and resilience. 

The programme is specifically designed for performance practitioners or professionals with substantial experience and knowledge in performance practice, theatre, choreography, live art, or somatic and body-based practices. The programme attracts candidates who wish to challenge and refine their artistic practice. For this reason, the programme provides a practice-oriented, intensive, residency-based form of education that meets the learning and development needs of working artists and creators.
