environment to challenge and explore
your creative voice, agency and artistry
as a dance performer. As a member of

you will work as part of a small group
of dancers in a range of different creative
projects, delivered with exceptional
guidance from faculty and guest artists.
A range of performance opportunities
are designed to prepare you for your
career as a professional dance artist.
Detailed information
The MA/MFA Dance Performance offers you the opportunity to research and explore the role of the performer in the artistic process and to deepen your understanding of both the artistic and technical complexities that form part of dance performance.
You’ll be immersed in an intensive year of physical and creative exploration. You’ll be invited to reflect on your own performance practice and that of your peers, to ask questions, and to identify and give voice to your own interests and ambitions.
Regular classes in embodied dance techniques provide the groundwork for exploring different movement styles and methodologies. Creative projects with guest artists may have a range of different outputs from theatre performances to site specific events, durational installations, film work and other creative performances. Guest artists and collaborative opportunities help you to broaden and develop your professional networks.
Across all activities, the experience of the dancer as an individual is centred and celebrated. Ongoing dialogue and debate create space for critical reflection alongside regular feedback and independent research.
You will become part of the wider postgraduate community at Trinity Laban, with shared activities and opportunities to collaborate across both music and dance faculties. Facilities in our award-winning building include an outstanding library, state of the art studios, a 300-seat theatre and access to our fitness gym and Pilates studio alongside costume, production and AV support.
