On this course, you will place your own practice (whether emerging or established) at the heart of your studies. Using a range of artistic and scholarly contexts from dance and other artistic disciplines, you will explore new approaches to the research and realisation of choreography in professional and academic contexts. The curriculum allows you to explore and develop your own interests in the context of practice research and current industry perspectives.
Balancing taught with independent study, the course is highly practical in its delivery with largely studio-based activity alongside some classroom-based seminars and lectures. You will explore practice-research methods, artistic perspectives, collaboration and your relationship with your audience. You are encouraged to personalise your studies by drawing directly upon your own background, identity, culture and specialist movement practices. Teaching is delivered by acclaimed artist practitioners and academics in the fields of dance and wider creative practices.
Embedded within the course are opportunities to engage with the work of industry partner FABRIC and to make connections with artists in residence at the International Centre for Choreography (iC4C).
The course is designed for those wishing to further their skills to develop themselves as independent professional artists working across a range of contexts, and as artist-academics. It is ideal for recent graduates, established artists and education and community practitioners who wish to reinvigorate their practices and deepen their engagement in choreographic processes.
