Discover and develop a unique vision for the impact of your practice – your dance manifesto. Designed to respond to the shifting demands of the sector, this programme integrates creative, technical, digital, professional, and entrepreneurial skills, preparing you for your professional career. Why study Dance and Embodied Practice at Roehampton? Forge your unique vision: the blend of practical, contextual, and industry-based explorations allows you to apply skills across diverse artistic, educational, community contexts, and and, less conventionally, in galleries and museums to outdoor sites. This focus on experimentation and ambition prepares you for multiple professional pathways while cultivating a deeply personal, visionary approach to dance. Practice, innovate, and collaborate: you’ll develop and test new ideas and skills in dance ‘laboratory’ sessions, and research and practice notions of dance facilitation, dance teaching, dance leadership, dance intervention, and dance-making in a variety of contexts. This unique, practice-based approach will expand your understanding of wellbeing and safe, healthy dance practice, and relates directly to social, political and cultural issues around embodiment, community, and the environment. Build skills for impact and change: over the two years, you’ll acquire a comprehensive set of technical, creative, and professional skills, from composition and production to project management and critical reflection. You’ll graduate as a visionary practitioner, capable of making meaningful contributions across theatre, screen, policy, education, and community initiatives.
