MA Performance Practices: Applied Artists

Are you committed to ideas of community, inclusivity, sustainability and wellbeing in theatre practice? Are you interested in advancing your artistic practices to develop and innovate at the intersections between applied, political and mainstage performance?

Applied Artists pairs the growing body of international applied theatre and performance research with sophisticated performance training to develop the applied practitioner as an artist. This MA sees you journey between yourself and communities in your articulation of practices towards socio-cultural, political and economic change.

This is a newly formulated MA that responds to the pressing demand for ethical and sustainable performance practices nationally and internationally. Applied Artists students have access to specialised training, critical research and placements with connected artists, companies and non-governmental organisations around the world. We will guide you as you steer new practices and research in dialogue with our rapidly changing transnational, globalised and decolonising peripheries.
