The MA Performance Practices at the HOME OF PERFORMANCE PRACTICES is a highly dynamic, research-intensive master’s programme that invites artists to deepen and expand their creative practice through rigorous artistic and intellectual enquiry. Rooted in de-disciplined thinking, the curriculum encourages students to investigate, challenge and reshape the role of artists in society, using performance-making as a strategy for building equitable and intersectional futures. Students design personalised lines of research while engaging with internationally-renowned practitioners and contributors. This environment not only promotes innovation and critical thinking but also places graduates at the forefront of contemporary performance research and practice.
The programme follows a low-residency, high-intensity model, with on-site periods devoted to studio practice, workshops, lectures, and mentoring sessions. Our focus is on creating a supportive, creative community that values collaboration, experimentation, and real-world application. The programme’s model of periodic on-site study blocks complemented by autonomous, project-driven research enables students to balance concentrated learning with independent inquiry, fostering resilience and adaptability as they develop their unique artistic voices. This master’s equips you with advanced skills in critical evaluation, synthesis of ideas, project management and professional networking.
