BA CPP
Create the future of contemporary performance today.
The BA Contemporary Performance Practice is a practice-based degree programme for people who are keen to innovate and for aspiring performance makers who wish to work collaboratively to create events which have something to say about the world in which we live.
If you are interested in the disciplines of performance, installation, movement, research and documentation in various forms and combinations, if you are interested in hybrid art forms which are emerging in response to the times, if you are interested in working with image, action, sound and text to create new performance works and in developing yourself as an independent artist, then this is the course for you.
Staffed by practising artists, this innovative and challenging degree places collaborative practices and interdisciplinary approaches at its heart. This broad based approach values the belief that the contemporary artist specialises in the realisation of ideas rather than the pursuit of specialism.
Graduates follow a variety of careers; they set up their own companies, work as solo artists in the live arts sector, direct or perform in devised, community or educational theatre, and work as freelance drama workers for theatre companies or community organisations. With further specialised study, graduates have also become drama teachers and drama specialists in settings such as prisons and healthcare organisations.
