Take time and space to develop your artistic voice by joining our MA Performance and Theatre Making. Firmly embedded in Kent’s thriving creative landscape, this course is aimed at graduates from theatre and performing arts degrees and other related subjects, as well as artists in theatre/performance who wish to take some time to develop or re-connect with their practice.
Whether you plan to work as a freelance artist, start a theatre company, or harness the power of the arts in other fields through your creative skillset, this intensive Masters’ prepares you through a holistic curriculum.
You will undertake performance training and develop your individual approach to dramaturgical practice in a range of forms, experimenting with elements of devising, writing, adaptation, or directorial/choreographic decision-making. To support your work as a ‘thinking practitioner’ you will also study the wider political, social and intellectual contexts of the field in Britain, Europe and beyond.
As the course progresses, you will conceive and realise more complex public-facing creative projects in your area of interest, and acquire best-practice skills in facilitation and inclusive audience/community engagement, in line with funders’ expectations. You will further apply and deepen your learning through placements or fieldwork study, alongside building your professional network and acquiring key skills in managing a creative career, such as marketing, branding, and developing funding applications. The course culminates in a theoretical or practical dissertation project, supported by supervision and completed through independent study and/or practice.
