The MRes (Hons) in Choreography and Performance at the University of Roehampton London is designed for experienced professional choreographers, dancers, performance makers, and interdisciplinary artists seeking to deepen their practice through studio-based enquiry and research. You will explore the philosophies underpinning practice-as-research, critically engaging with how artistic creation can serve as a rigorous form of investigation. This postgraduate Masters degree is ideal if you aim to understand your work and interests within broader political, cultural, and artistic frameworks, developing essential reflective and critical skills for advanced artistic development.
This full-time, on-campus Masters programme is studied over one year, offering an intensive and immersive experience. You will engage with optional modules such as 'The Performance of Heritage: Dance in Museums, Galleries and Historic Sites' or 'Mediated Choreography', alongside a significant Independent Research Module culminating in a portfolio. Throughout your study, you will develop advanced dramaturgy, sophisticated writing and documentation strategies, and the capacity to articulate your practice. You will graduate with enhanced research capabilities and a refined artistic voice, prepared for further doctoral study or advanced professional roles in the creative industries.
