Program Description

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 perspectives 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 emphasises the development of practice research, interdisciplinarity and authorship.Balancing taught with independent study, the course is delivered from practical and scholarly perspectives through studio-based and classroom activities. You will explore practice-research methods, critical choreographic contexts, performance making and negotiated study. You are encouraged to personalise your studies by drawing directly upon your 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 present your research and practice at the International Centre for Choreography (iC4C), and engage with FABRIC (Dance4 and DanceXchange together), visiting artists and the public. 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 educators who wish to reinvigorate their practices and deepen their engagement in choreographic processes.
