The postgraduate performance specialisation is designed for students who have graduated from vocational training programmes and are ready to explore their individual potential further by developing their experience and understanding of performance.

Through greater focus on the processes of devising work and/or rehearsing repertoire, followed by performances in a variety of venues, students will have the opportunity to explore and research technical and artistic skills.

Dance company apprenticeships develop students’ skills as performers through placements with well-established professional companies; academic work is completed by correspondence, with regular feedback from the School. Apprentices work with the host company all year and always perform on stage with them, in professional settings as part of their course.

We are excited to be working with a wide range of companies for 2012/13:

Postgraduate Diploma / MA in Contemporary Dance
