Drama's MA by Practice as Research was launched in January 2002, the first course of its kind in Britain. It has so far attracted a range of researchers, including a film-maker wanting to work across disciplines, the co-directors of Ridiculusmus, performance artist Kazuko Hohki, and students researching physical theatre and visual performance.
The course is aimed at practitioners who want time to develop and reflect on their work in a supportive and challenging environment. It is also meant for recent graduates who want either to develop a body of practice or to conduct practice-based research at a higher level.
The course leads through supervision to project planning with practice-based presentations early in the autumn term, which are then written up for the final dissertation.
Assessment is through practice and written reflection, which you can present in a range of media such as CD-Roms, DVDs, model boxes or video, depending on the practice you are investigating. Supervision for this MA is offered in all areas of staff interest, and we provide dedicated space, technical support and a budget.
