Overview
Te Performance: Screen MA programme from the University of the Arts London (UAL) offers an experimental, open and discursive framework inwhich to explore the convergent mediums of performance and moving image via critical thinking and experimental studio practice. Students are encouraged to situate their work within the context of the wider social, political and economic conditions of our digitally networked society and interrogate how images are encountered, produced and consumed.
Specifically aimed at hybrid moving image and performance makers, the MA supports an expanding field of practice across performance art, artists’ moving image, expanded cinema, experimental film, participatory practice, documentary and post-internet art to encourage new approaches and methodologies of making, processes and outcomes.
Career opportunities:
The course promotes the acquisition of practical production skills including directing and dramaturgy, cinematography, lighting, choreography / blocking, sound recording, editing and colour grading, whilst simultaneously developing an in-depth knowledge and understanding of relevant critical discourses, including theories of performativity, mediation and representation. Student outputs might include single or multiscreen narrative works, documentary essay film through observational and guerrilla filmmaking techniques, site-specific installations, hybrid documentaries, experimental films,performance lectures, and online and immersive projects.
On leaving the course, MA Performance: Screen graduates will be prepared for a variety of careers in performance and screen industries and will have the agility and confidence to diversify and respond to the demands of the current climate. Beyond these industries are opportunities for doctoral research or a range of portfolio careers creating and delivering content with and through moving image; contemporary art and film production, theatre, live events, festival programming or curation, gaming and immersive environments, media communications, platforms for education and learning, and emerging social applications concerned with community building and well-being.
The proposed MA Performance: Screen places emphasis on the voice and strategies of independent film makers and screen-based performance makers. Once developed, the course will sit alongside MA Performance: Design and Practice, MA Character Animation, and MA Performance: Writing to provide a complementary suite that reflects the emerging strengths, running through UG and PG, of the Performance programme at CSM.
