MFA Choreography

The MA and MFA Choreography offer a stimulating environment in which to explore and develop your choreographic practice and expertise.

Whether you’re in the early stages of your career or an experienced dance artist, these programmes present opportunities to engage with contemporary ideas, concepts and propositions within the choreographic field.

The MFA Choreography is a two-year full-time programme. It shares the first year taught programme with the MA. An extended independent project forms the second year, providing time for in-depth research.

The taught programme of the MA (first year of the MFA) encourages you to explore your current practice and develop as develop as an innovative, independent choreographer.

You will encounter interdisciplinary perspectives and collaborative practices, creating work across a range of settings and media.

The MFA Extended Project is a self-directed module during which you consolidate your independent choreographic perspectives and practice.
