The MA Dance: Performance programme focuses on developing your capacity to interact skilfully with the full variety of technical demands and performance outcomes that the international contemporary dance world offers, enabling you to navigate and shape the future professional landscapes with an in-depth capacity to contribute meaningfully as a creative collaborator and develop your own artistic voice and agency.

You will be introduced to the various freelancing skills needed to support and advance your career

You will establish a professional network to enable you to explore the opportunities for the development, application and promotion of your performance practice
