MA Puppetry

MA Puppetry at Wimbledon College of Arts explores and develops the art forms needed for the creation of puppetry.

Working with other students, you’ll design, devise, create, perform in, and interrogate puppetry for live and recorded performance. Through critical and analytical research and experimental projects, you’ll build upon and push current practices. 

What to expect

• Consider all aspects of puppetry: You’ll look at the subject on a deeper level covering theory, performance, writing, design and making.
• Learn key skills: Developing techniques and engaging with vocational expertise will allow you to enter the industry at professional level.
• Focus on a specialist area: With your tutor you will establish a Learning Agreement for the year, that will allow you to refine your practice and interests as you progress through the MA. This learning and development will underpin your final project.
• Produce a research and practice portfolio: This will communicate your capabilities. It will show flexible and proactive approaches to employment that the field requires. It will also aid progression into further artistic research. 
• An ethical focus: We have a responsibility to contribute towards a better and more sustainable world. Throughout your course, you’ll explore climate, social and racial justice and learn how to embed these principles into your creative practice.
• Fairness in assessment: Outcomes of assessments are not linked or dependent upon the cost of materials used.
• Access to Wimbledon’s shared workshops
