The MFA(Hons) Dance and Embodied Practice at the University of Roehampton London is a postgraduate programme designed for dancers eager to explore the transformative potential of their studio practice. You will investigate dance as a creative, improvisational tool and a form of practice-research that can influence culture and society. This course is ideal for those who wish to deepen their understanding of embodiment, wellbeing, and the application of dance in diverse artistic, educational, and community contexts, including unconventional spaces like galleries and museums. You will engage with critical discourse and develop your unique artistic voice.
This practice-based Master of Fine Arts is studied full-time on campus over two years. Your learning journey will involve technique classes, choreography workshops, collaborative projects, and reflective writing, fostering the development and testing of new ideas in dance 'laboratory' settings. You will have the opportunity to gain practical experience through compulsory modules like Mediated Choreography and Dance and Embodied Project, alongside optional modules exploring dance in specific contexts. You will graduate with enhanced skills in dance facilitation, leadership, and making, prepared for diverse professional pathways in the arts and beyond.
