MA Performance: Screen at Central Saint Martins develops your voice as an independent filmmaker and screen-based performance maker. You will explore the meeting point of performance and moving image through an experimental studio culture, testing how bodies, cameras and spaces shape meaning on screen. You will combine critical frameworks with hands-on production, building skills in single and multi-camera directing, dramaturgy, cinematography, lighting, sound recording, editing and colour grading.
