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 costume, 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, ready to grow in response to conceptual and technological developments, and for your practice and research to pose question
