This is a course for performance makers and the makers of performance.
BA Performance: Design and Practice is an interdisciplinary performance course for students developing both live and screen-based practices. The course challenges long-established models of authorship encouraging work that is experimental, cross-disciplinary and design-led while developing technical and practical tools in scenography, dramaturgy and movement.
Our student body and teaching team come from a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds. As a community, we are deeply committed to the idea that diverse environments are the most vibrant creatively and we actively celebrate difference. As a course, we encourage creative risk-taking by cultivating a supportive and accepting environment in which unique individual and collective perspectives can develop. We believe in the potential for performance to change the society in which we all live.
The course offers a flexible approach to charting your own creative pathway enabling you to be responsive and adaptable to the contemporary pressures of a creative career and ready to grow in response to new conceptual and technological developments in our increasingly digital world.
Students are encouraged to shape their own unique specialisms and frequently graduate as multi-disciplinary practitioners. Subsequently our students graduate into wide ranging careers in performance-related industries and frequently transfer these skills to wider professions. Students typically have careers as: performance designers, directors, movement specialists, art directors, artists and creative facilitators. They work across many different fields that include performance, dance, live art, digital performance, art direction, event design, immersive experience, transmedia theatre, storytelling, applied theatre, documentary, film and moving image. Students also go on to further postgraduate study.
We are committed to developing ethical performance practices. To achieve this, we are working to embed UAL's Principles for Climate, Social and Racial Justice into the course.
