Key Summary
As an active participant in the MA or MFA Advanced Theatre Practice, you will participate in workshops with leading professionals, learn to research and extend your own practice, launch a company, make new work, and, on the MA, take this to an audience beyond Central. Students will also extend the roles of performer, director, writer, designer, dramaturg, puppeteer, musician, artist, or creative thinker in new and unexpected ways and build on the tradition of theatre-making as a communicative medium of exchange, i.e. through working with digital media. MFA students also have excellent opportunities to work for with a number of distinguished external companies.
"In the first year of the MFA, you will join the MA students for Terms One to Three.
The MFA then extends into a second year beginning in October, enabling the development of further projects and professional connections outside the School. Working together during this initial period of creative growth, you will develop experience from the intensive workshop atmosphere of Term One, through learning to research and extending practice in Term Two, to launching a company or the approach to making new work in Term Three.
You will be supported in this process of growth and development, gradually enabling you to become a stronger, more articulate practitioner, better able to work flexibly and constructively with others, extending the boundaries of theatre and how it might be seen.
Term Four of the MA focuses on taking work to an audience of choice beyond Central.
The MFA second year deepens and extends this opportunity for independent professional development beyond Central, while still retaining a degree of contact and guidance from tutors. An MFA top-up year for those with an existing MA in this subject is also available."
