Programme specification:

On this postgraduate degree, you will explore key disciplines of performance and cultural and creative industries, such as space, artists and audience, in a global context. Performance in this context refers to live and digital art forms produced with international audiences in mind.

Throughout this Masters course you’ll develop a critical understanding of what performance is, and how it is produced and consumed locally and globally within a variety of social, political and economic settings.

You’ll apply your learning through lectures and seminars. This course will equip you with the skills to build your global career networks, you’ll have the opportunity to visit a variety of cultural organisations, and gain valuable insight into the cultural and creative industries from guest lecturers and industry experts.

This Masters course is taught by the School of Performance and Cultural Industries which is based in stage@leeds, a publicly licensed theatre at the heart of the University campus. As a student you’ll also have access to stage@leedsDigital, a virtual creative space for students, researchers, professional artists and international theatre companies.

Equipped with theories you have learned from core content modules, you’ll have the opportunity to process the learning through observing the process of performance making at stage@leeds, as well as by undertaking practice-led optional modules.

Leeds has a thriving cultural scene for you to explore and is home to large-scale events like Leeds International Film Festival, Light Night, Transform Festival and Leeds Digital Festival. You may also want to engage with internationally renowned cultural organisations such as Leeds Playhouse, Opera North, Phoenix Dance Theatre and the BBC.
