Queer Performance MA

An internationally unique course which trains you to create, explore, examine and expand queer performance practice.

The first and only MA of its kind to focus on queer performance, this course offers broad training in a range of queer performance practice, delivered by renowned queer artists, theatre-makers, academics, and researchers.

Fiercely socially engaged, political, experimental, and interdisciplinary, the course provides an in-depth, COMPREHENSIVE examination of queer performance practice, studying its themes, methodologies, and untapped possibilities.

By collaborating closely with other queers in a supportive context, the course develops and expands your individual practice by offering opportunities to contextualise your work while collaborating with others.

We welcome all students with an interest in engaging with queer performance, whether primarily as maker (in theatre, live art, drag, cabaret, writing, video and moving image, sound art, digital arts), researcher, critic, facilitator or producer.

This hybrid course is designed to take place in person and online over 13 months. As a cohort, you will have four intensive in-person residencies together, three in the UK and one normally one abroad.

Seminars, discussions, tutorials and mentorship will be delivered online, weekly throughout term time. As such, students can live anywhere globally, but are required to travel to be in attendance for the residencies.

You can study this course full time (over 15 months) or part time (over 28 months).

Accessibility and learning styles: The course is designed with accessibility considerations across all aspects, although we will always strive to improve and collaborate on improving our access provisions.

All written assessments have optionality for alternative spoken/performed components.
