Course Description:
'' Professional dance practitioners need current knowledge and skills to allow them to work effectively in a range of contexts. The current industry requires professional artists to work creatively as dance makers and leaders. This MA aims to develop such skills by broadening your understanding and experience. This course offers firm theoretical approaches complemented by practical studio-based work. Topics include creating and facilitating dance; conceptions of practice and performance; notions of habit; culture and identity, learning, and developments in choreographic processes and performance. You will be taught in a range of spaces, including the newly opened state-of-the-art studios and performance spaces in the PACE building. The building has exciting, alternative and flexible teaching spaces.
The course is delivered on campus in intensive teaching blocks throughout the year. This facilitates more intensive and focused engagement with module content, and contact with peers and staff. You will work independently with support from staff outside of these blocks. The teaching blocks normally take place in September, October, November, January, February, March and May.
The University is not responsible for providing accommodation for you during the teaching blocks.
The course consists of the following modules:
Semester one (September-January)
Perspectives on current dance practice introduces you to a range of current issues and realities from two key themes: creativity and pedagogy.
Advanced Movement Studies ensures that you consider your own movement practices from the perspectives of observation, conception and practice so that you may begin to reflect upon and analyse your work.

Semester two (February-May)
