Taking charge of your learning, you’ll pursue an individual research path and become an independent practitioner through collaborative projects, ongoing advanced physical training, and creative and choreographic processes. You'll develop your ideas through various exercises, helping you become an effective communicator ready to articulate your practice with confidence. And your professional practice project will help you produce, market, choreograph and perform work.

You’ll produce an in-depth written research project into a chosen field, and a practical research project featuring independent and collaborative research. This can include organising a placement in a dance company, regional dance organisation, community arts company, school or college, health organisation, club, cruise ship, musical theatre show or artist residence. And with support from tutors and the employability team at Falmouth, you can build relationships benefitting your chosen area of study and postgraduate career.
