Course summary
If you are seeking the opportunity to focus on the stage or screen as an actor, director, creator, or script writer and want to step into new and exciting creative territories, then this is the course for you. It is carefully designed for you to navigate and develop your practice and knowledge at a professional level. Offering expert tuition, and exploration of practices, research methods and critical frameworks, you will receive support to realise your creative ambitions, developing your performance and creative skills, theoretical understanding, and research interests. Our modules cover advanced level teaching in essential theories and practices, performance and creative approaches, technological platforms, areas of research strategy, analysis, documentation, and essay writing. During your MA studies you will undertake either a written research dissertation, or a practical project, leading to the production of a substantial piece of creative work (for example a substantive performance, workshop, lecture, or event). The foundation of this course is our belief in artistic development through active self-discovery; arming you to be able to execute your own highly engaging and creative work. Teaching takes place in our Creative Campus, Kingsway, which offers 6,920 square metres of floor space, including a 200-seat lecture theatre, rehearsal and performance studios, a learning resource centre, subject-specific IT labs housing 200 Macs and PCs, and two catering outlets.
