Dance: Choreography and Professional Practices

About

In the first trimester of this masters in dance choreography course, youll dive head-first into an intensive module that brings together key concepts, theories, and practices used in modern choreography. Youll learn through a combination of practical sessions and seminars in which youll look at, and discuss, the work of professional practitioners.

In your second trimester, youll take your studies a step further, looking at the use of research and experimentation in your creative practice, as well as methods of teaching in a workshop environment. Youll gain a solid understanding of how to put together a small to mid-scale production tour.

Youll put everything youve learned on this choreography masters degree into practice in your final semester. Either by working collaboratively with a guest artist or postgraduate students from another course or by applying your learning within an Industry Placement. Youll also complete a research-as-practice project or dissertation, drawing on everything youve learned and experienced throughout the course.

Studying on this programme, youll learn valuable choreographic skills and techniques and gain a solid understanding of what it takes to be a working professional in this industry.

What will I be doing?

Current circumstances, and potential future changes in government advice, mean that we may need to vary the methods of teaching and/or assessment during the forthcoming academic year.

TEACHING

You'll be provided with a timetable that'll include a breakdown of your scheduled lessons with time-slots for you to explore your independent research interests. Your classes will be based at our New Adelphi and Lower Maxwell Hall facilities.

As the course is highly practical in nature, students will be taught in a mixture of physical and practical methods. This includes practical demonstration in technique classes and workshops, with a mixture of verbal and embodied feedback given throughout.

Modules are also supported by practical workshops, lectures, seminars and facilitated student discussion/debate. In many areas, theoretical or screened content is related directly to the students' practical experiences to underpin their holistic development as choreographers.

Students will also be supported by staff supervision in their industry placements and independent research projects. In these projects, student-centred approaches consider the individual's chosen area of enquiry and combines instruction with guidance and feedback to support their personal development and exploration

ASSESSMENT

Assessment on this course is through a combination of formative and summative assessment, supporting and promoting the slow and ongoing nature of your personal development. There will also be formal means to present the outcome of your learning through writing, practical presentations and performances.

You will be assessed through: performances, portfolios of creative, reflective and analytical written work, practical/creative and oral presentations, as well as essays.
