| MA Performance: Screen offers an experimental, open and discursive framework inwhich to explore the convergent mediums of performance and moving image via critical thinking and experimental studio practice. Students are encouraged to situate their work within the context of the wider social, political and economic conditions of our digitally networked society and interrogate how images are encountered, produced and consumed. Specifically aimed at hybrid moving image and performance makers, the MA supports an expanding field of practice across performance art, artists’ moving image, expanded cinema, experimental film, participatory practice, documentary and post-internet art to encourage new approaches and methodologies of making, processes and outcomes.
The course promotes the acquisition of practical production skills including directing and dramaturgy, cinematography, lighting, choreography / blocking, sound recording, editing and colour grading, whilst simultaneously developing an in-depth knowledge and understanding of relevant critical discourses, including theories of performativity, mediation and representation. Student outputs might include single or multiscreen narrative works, documentary essay film through observational and guerrilla filmmaking techniques, site-specific installations, hybrid documentaries, experimental films,performance lectures, and online and immersive projects.
