As an emerging or experienced choreographer, this MFA course will help students refine their artistic practice by advancing their creative, technical and performance skills. The programme includes technique classes, choreography workshops, laboratory sessions, dialogue, writing and reflection. Students will be encouraged to experiment and take risks in a series of self-directed choreographic projects that help them develop a portfolio of work.
Students will be supported by the mentorship and teaching of experienced staff in the University of Roehampton's modern studios and well-equipped performance theatre. Study with highly experienced in-house and visiting artists and tutors alongside a creative community of peers.
In year one, students will take the compulsory taught module, Ways of Knowing, shared with two compulsory programme specific modules (Choreography and Dance Practice) which are both year-long. In Ways of Knowing, students will be introduced to research methods, including ethnography, dance analysis and practice-as-research. Choreography uses a collaborative and constructive laboratory environment to enable students to interrogate their existing choreographic practice. Dance Practice provides a framework for students to explore movement potential using a variety of approaches and techniques.
In year two, there is flexibility to choose between modules to suit students' interests alongside their core module called Choreographic Thesis. In this module, students will have an independent choreographic vision using original research which is underpinned by tutorials, peer review and open rehearsals.
The School is home to the internationally recognised Centre for Dance Research, which foregrounds the research of dance as cultural and artistic expression as theatre performance and beyond. Through seminars, forums and conferences involving staff and international invited guests, the Centre supports a compelling research culture.
The University of Roehampton also has excellent links with dance companies and creative organisations. In easy reach of London’s vibrant dance scene, the campus has superb studios and a state-of-the-art theatre for dance students.
