M72 Bachelor of Arts (Contemporary Performance)

Contemporary Performance is a three-year degree course with an experiential, hands-on approach to creating performance combined with a theoretical underpinning that develops the articulate and innovative practitioner. The emphasis is on praxis, the dialectic of performance practice and theory and as such it offers:

  • A variety of skills, methods and opportunities to devise, perform and develop a body of artistic work
  • An experiential examination of contemporary art practices, artists and the ideas that shape their work
  • An investigation of interdisciplinary practices within the current international arts environment and their historical background
  • Philosophical contexts for current praxis and the critical methodologies and thinking processes used in their development.
