Dance and Contemporary Circus MA

This postgraduate course in Dance and Contemporary Circus is the first of its kind in the UK and is a fantastic opportunity for artists to further their practice within this growing field and be at the forefront of sector development. Artists will have the opportunity to tap into regional, national and international networks and have access to an exceptional body of infrastructure and resources. Key areas that will be covered include:

Narrative Development and Dramaturgy – the outside eye
Fusing the two forms (exploring how an artist incorporates what is traditionally seen as a ‘trick’ into the choreography/narrative of a piece)
Role/involvement of the audience in a work (the fourth wall and when/how/what happens when you break it)
The unique challenges of making work for indoor and outdoor contexts
Funding landscape and opportunities
Partnerships – who to develop them with and how to develop them
Developing commissions
Basics of health and safety in relation to the field (safe working practices/risk assessments/rigging)
The sector on a national and international level
