Overview

Why study this program?

The Professional Practice, Artistic Practitioner program at Middlesex University will suit any professional arts practitioner working across the fields of dance, theatre, music, and broader interdisciplinary arts practices.

You will study in depth your own area of professional practice. Starting with engaging with theories and processes of reflection you will begin to identify key moments of learning in your professional experiences (module one). You will then consider an area within your practice that you identify as being of significant interest/having the potential for further development and engage with concepts of research design and frameworks for practice-as research (module two), to develop a proposal for an independent research project that you will undertake, guided by your supervisor in the third and final module of the MA.

You will develop skills in reflective practice, research design, practice as research methodologies, analysis, reflective writing, communication through practice and theory
