Manchester School of Theatre - MA Performance
The MA/MFA in Performance at the Manchester School of Theatre, and part of the Department of Art and Performance in the famous Manchester School of Art.
The MA/MFA Performance creates a space for asking big daring questions about why we perform, who we perform for and how radical performance can act upon, and in, the world. It offers a distinctive opportunity for graduates and artists, from experimental theatre, contemporary dance, and performance art backgrounds, to create innovative new performance that plays across artistic borders.

Exploring storytelling and dramatherpy in a laboratory theatre environment.

At the end of each academic year we get our students to reflect, anonymously, on their experience on the MA/MFA Performance programme. These are a selection of quotes from previous years, as our current students begin their final Major Project module, culminating in another exciting display of new work at our Liminal Festival on 17-19 September this year.
There is still time to apply if you would also like to develop, refine, extend and challenge your own practice. Go to https://www.mmu.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/course/ma-mfa-performance to apply or go here https://www.theatre.mmu.ac.uk/ma-mfa-performance/ for more information.

MA/MFA Contemporary Performance
The MA/MFA Contemporary Performance creates a space for asking questions – big daring questions about why we perform, who we perform for and how contemporary performance can act upon, and in, the world. It offers a distinctive opportunity for graduates and artists, from experimental theatre, contemporary dance, and performance art backgrounds, to create innovative new performance that plays across artistic borders.
The course is shaped and driven by the passions and expertise of an interdisciplinary team of internationally recognised theatre makers, dance artists, performance artists and writers. Together we have designed a series of rich provocations (workshops, reading groups, lectures, practical intensives) that students can immerse themselves in, in order to challenge and refine their own practice.
For graduates this MA/MFA creates a bridge between undergraduate study and the professional arts world. For emerging and mid-career artists this programme is an opportunity for interrogating and transforming your existing work, within a supportive community of like-minded makers, with input from expert practitioners as mentors. We welcome applications from small groups of collaborating artists as well as individual makers.
