Course programme
The MA Creative Practice is intended to allow both the experienced and the recent graduate creative individual to develop and promote their ‘voice’ in a safe and supportive environment. The open modular format is designed so that you can select those topics that most interest you or which are most suitable for your career intentions. You will have the opportunity to study and practice with students from other programmes. There are two pathways available, one more self-determined than the other and each with its own distinctive character. You will need to indicate on the extended application form your module preference and also a second choice in case your first choice is not available. The ‘taught’ elements of this programme form year 1 of the MFA programme.
Delivered jointly with Siobhan Davies Dance, Independent Dance and The Cholmondeleys.
MA Creative Practice (Dance Professional Practice Pathway) aims to provide a rigorous and investigative learning and research environment to support professional dance artists in the further development of their artistic practice within a professional environment of intellectual and creative enquiry.
It provides an opportunity for mid-career artists to reflect upon their previous professional experience and its role in their ongoing learning, to engage in intensive studio-based learning experiences with significant artists and a professional peer group, to deepen their own practice as performers/makers, develop their understanding of a range of research methodologies within the arts, and to pursue their own area of artistic interest through substantial independent research.
The programme advocates a broad definition of dance in dialogue with a wider artistic and cultural context, and embraces a diversity of forms and contexts as emerging through dance thought and practice. It promotes a fluid and productive exchange between theoretical ideas and artistic practice, seeing new ideas and knowledge as emerging through practice and enabling theoretical ideas within and beyond dance to be thought through movement practice. These aims are reinforced by the Programme's association with the practices, activity and resources of both Independent Dance and Siobhan Davies Dance.
