MA Puppetry at Wimbledon College of Arts explores and develops the art forms needed for the creation of puppetry.

Course overview

MA Puppetry at Wimbledon College of Arts explores and develops the art forms needed for the creation of puppetry.

Working with other students, you’ll design, devise, create, perform in, and interrogate puppetry for live and recorded performance. Through critical and analytical research and experimental projects, you’ll build upon and push current practices.

As an applicant to this course, it is expected that you’ll have:

A good understanding of the complexities of puppetry as a practice.

An awareness of the global reach of this performance tradition.

Knowledge of both live and recorded uses of puppetry within the entertainment industry.

MA Puppetry sits within a wider portfolio of making and designing courses. Aligned with Wimbledon's expansion into screen, visual effects (VFX) and other augmented reality design, this MA course supports any applied or interdisciplinary applications for the art of puppetry. It also engages with some established traditions of this genre of performance-making.

What to expect

Consider all aspects of puppetry: You’ll look at the subject on a deeper level covering theory, performance, writing, design and making.

Learn key skills: Developing techniques and engaging with vocational expertise will allow you to enter the industry at professional level.

Focus on a specialist area: With your tutor you will establish a Learning Agreement for the year, that will allow you to refine your practice and interests as you progress through the MA. This learning and development will underpin your final project.

Produce a research and practice portfolio: This will communicate your capabilities. It will show flexible and proactive approaches to employment that the field requires. It will also aid progression into further artistic research.

An ethical focus: We have a responsibility to contribute towards a better and more sustainable world. Throughout your course, you'll explore climate, social and racial justice and learn how to embed these principles into your creative practice.

Fairness in assessment: Outcomes of assessments are not linked or dependent upon the cost of materials used.
