MA Performance: Design and Practice explores performance making, and time-based work. It promotes hybrid practices, critically exploring the conventional boundaries between fine art, performance and theatre. The course encourages criticality and restlessness, alongside an exploration of new forms of practice. It asks: What is the context for contemporary performance? What is its purpose? Who is it for?
The course will support you to become an independent practitioner in the fields of experimental theatre, live art and dramaturgy through design. You will create theatre which acknowledges the expanding and contested field of performance. You will interrogate conventions and traditional roles, such as that of the writer, designer, director and performer.
MA Performance: Design and Practice has four principal concerns:
- Exploring compositional strategies for time-based practice.
- Challenging the relationship between media, performance, community and audience.
- Developing approaches to research practices and applied enquiry
- Critical writing as an essential tool for understanding and articulating personal practice.
Through an integrated and individual approach to practice and theory, the course aims to develop your creativity. You will be encouraged to analyse the processes which drive and define your practice and to question how your work relates to the broader context of performance practice.MA Performance: Design and Practice focuses on the sector of performance culture where ideas and orthodoxies are in flux. The course brings fine artists, directors, writers, researchers and designers together to cooperate and purposefully engage with collective and individual visions for performance practice. In addition, the postgraduate community at Central Saint Martins is diverse and covers a range of subjects. Within this environment, there are opportunities for cooperation and collaboration across disciplines.
We are committed to developing ethical performance practices. To achieve this, we are working to embed UAL's Principles for Climate, Social and Racial Justice into the course.
