Getting in
As the university states it
This course is for emerging and established choreographers needing the time and support to deepen their creative work and advance their careers towards a new aspiration. As such, we are seeking graduates from dance-related undergraduate programmes at any stage in their career. We are interested in our applicants as professionals and as people, as well the work that they are currently making. This programme will require students to challenge, explore, expand and potentially re-think their practices in choreography. As such, students will need to be prepared for intensive studio-based creative work, as well as rigorous, independent and creative research. Please see our website for the full entry requirements.
