Master of Arts in CONTEMPORARY PERFORMANCE
MAKING
This innovative MA, which draws upon both facilities and
expertise at Brunel and the vast resources of London, will provide you with the
space to nurture your creativity through the practical and critical exploration
of contemporary performance including live art, digital art, writing and
directing for performance. This course is approximately 70% practice and 30%
theory, and an ideal programme for practicing artists developing their own work.
Graduating students have gone on to show their work nationally and
internationally, work with key UK and international companies and secure funding
and support for their work. Full-time students can complete the course over one
full year, or it may be taken part-time to develop a practice over two years
(please see entry requirements for UK/EU and overseas
students).
The MA is led by Fiona Templeton and Helen Paris, both
international practitioners in live art and contemporary performance. An exciting
new practice based Digital module is taught by Johannes Birringer, with other
courses by Gretchen Schiller, Steve Dixon, Sue Broadhurst and Stelarc. Guest
artists give masterclasses and one
to one feedback to students and have included: Peggy Shaw, Stacy Makishi, Marisa
Carnesky, Kira O’Reilly, Station House Opera, Anne Bean, Desperate Optimists and
Clod Ensemble to name just a few.
This course is for:
- emerging artists who want to develop a sense of their
practice, create original work and learn about contemporary
performance.
- artists who already have a developed practice but who
want to have a dedicated period of time and tuition to refine and refocus their
work and make fresh connections and create innovative
work.
- international students of performance who wish to have
an intense year-long period of study in London, learning about live and digital
performance and taking the opportunity to see a wide range of contemporary
practice in the UK.
- all graduates interested in live art, creativity,
digital performance, writing for performance and directing, who are specifically
looking for a very practice based MA and who are interested in pursuing a career
as practicing artists, writers, directors, curators, teachers arts
administrators and producers.
As part of the course students have work placements and
to date MA students have taken placements in London, Europe, the US, Canada,
Romania and France. Our Centre for Contemporary and Digital Performance and the
newly refurbished Antonin Artaud Building offer exciting facilities for
performance and digital art. Our School encourages interdisciplinary research,
and the possibility of creating
cross-over projects with Music, Screen/Media &
Journalism or Literature is available.
We are delighted to be able to offer two £1,500
postgraduate
scholarships for applicants to our MA in
