The MA Performance Practices welcomes artists interested in practice-as-research to advance their careers in performance art, choreography, contemporary theatre, experimental dance, or visual art.  

  Our curriculum is at the forefront of both artistic and intellectual enquiry around politics and ethics, empowering artists to develop performance making as a strategy for equitable societies, and intersectional futures.
