The MA in Performance Practices allows students to develop as a practitioner, researcher and creative leader through exploring the ways in which theatre and performance can foster understanding, collaboration and wellbeing through various forms of engagement, intervention and participation. Students will be involved in making creative work that addresses social and political concerns, developing their own practice and leadership skills through practice research, reflection and scholarship.
Students might be a theatre practitioner or scholar, wanting to further develop their knowledge and understanding of performance as a tool for change. Students might want a space to reflect on their skills and potential as a creative leader, or want to work creatively in a community of like-minded individuals with whom they can collaborate and share their ideas.
The course is located on the dedicated Selly Oak campus, where students will have access to a range of studio spaces, the George Cadbury Hall, which is a fully supported performance venue, an editing suite, production spaces and staff, as well as seminar rooms, a library facility and access to the University of Birmingham's internationally renowned academic teaching staff. Some of the staff are also professional practitioners whom students will work alongside to enhance their understanding of performance and of the industry more broadly.
