The MA takes in diverse forms of theatre, including multicultural and street theatre, and such practices as performance art, dance, ritual, site-specific performance and a wide range of hybrid forms. It leads you to explore performance as sociocultural process by using analytical principles from sociology, the sociology of culture, cultural theory, anthropology, history, philosophy, politics and theatre and performance. We have numerous links, locally and internationally, with a wide variety of theatres, companies and performers, all of which enhance your research possibilities.


Contents

There are three compulsory core courses which focus on a range of issues concerning performance as a sociocultural practice. They involve conceptual and theoretical material, their interweave and their relationship to performance; historiographical methodologies and textual issues; analysis of live performances; cultural difference, ethnicity and cross-culturalism; questions to do with corporeality, alternative spaces and performance in terms of social inclusivity. A choice of options or independent study constitutes the fourth component, and a dissertation on your individual research completes your programme of study.

You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
