Overview

Working with other students you will design, devise, create and interrogate puppetry. Through research and experimental projects, you will build upon and push current practices.

As an applicant to this course, it is expected that you will have:

a good understanding of the complexities of puppetry as a practice

an awareness of the global reach of this performance tradition

knowledge of both live and recorded uses of puppetry within the entertainment industry.

The Puppetry programme at the University of the Arts London (UAL) sits within a wider portfolio of making and designing courses. Aligned with Wimbledon's expansion into screen, visual effects (VFX) and other augmented reality design, this MA course supports any applied or interdisciplinary applications for the art of puppetry. It also engages with some established traditions of this genre of performance-making.

Industry experience and opportunities

The College is particularly proud of its ongoing contact with professional practitioners. Connections with puppeteers, designers and directors occur throughout the course as part of the unit teaching.

You are encouraged and will be given some support to find a suitable industry placement. This would typically take place during the summer break and will be discussed with the Course Leader. Placements, however, are not a compulsory part of the course and do not form part of any assessment.
