Study Details:
The first and only MA of its kind to focus on queer performance, this course offers broad training in a range of queer performance practices, delivered by renowned queer artists, theatre-makers, academics, and researchers.
Fiercely socially engaged, political, experimental, and interdisciplinary, the course provides an in-depth, comprehensive examination of queer performance practice, studying its themes, methodologies, and untapped possibilities.
By collaborating closely with other queers in a supportive context, the course develops and expands your individual practice by offering opportunities to contextualise your work while collaborating with others.
We welcome all students with an interest in engaging with queer performance, whether primarily as maker (in theatre, live art, drag, cabaret, writing, video and moving image, sound art, digital arts), researcher, critic, facilitator or producer.
This course is taught over 15 months (four terms). As a cohort, you will have four intensives together, three in London and normally one residency abroad. In the intensive periods, you will spend 1-2 weeks in the studio together daily.
During term time, there will be at least one in-person taught studio class each week. You will also have lectures, seminars, tutorials, mentorship sessions and independent solo or group work which may be conducted in person or online.
Accessibility and learning styles: The course is designed with accessibility considerations across all aspects, although we will always strive to improve and collaborate on improving our access provisions.
All written assessments have optionality for alternative spoken/performed components.
