You will be able to experiment, take risks and develop an individual artistic voice. You will also gain insights into different creative practices in dance and other art forms through contact with visiting artists, while exploring the different artistic and social contexts for the creation and reception of work. You will be encouraged to create pieces in a range of settings and media, and work collaboratively with artists from other disciplines.
The taught element of the programme consists of the following modules: Examining practice, creative synergies and transformations, methods of practice, research and development. To complete the programme, you will also undertake an in-depth independent research project.
This may take the form of a publicly presented major choreographic work, or works, which represent your own distinctive practice as it has developed on the programme. Please note that technical training (technique class) is not provided within the fee structure of the programme. However, classes may be available on payment of supplementary fee to cover direct teaching costs; alternatively evening classes offered by the Education and Community department are available. A range of professional classes are also offered at our partner organisation Greenwich Dance Agency, located some 15 minutes away.
For an explanation of qualifications, have a look at our IAG page on this site www.creativeway.org.uk/quals. You will normally have prior choreographic experience and/or have successfully completed an undergraduate degree in an appropriate or related subject; or hold an overseas award of equivalent standard (eg USA degree GPA of 3.00). English Language competency requirements also apply.
A Progression Agreement is a formal arrangement between two or more
education providers. It spells out what a learner needs to do to be
considered for a place on a named programme of study. Progression Agreements
may vary in the conditions they specify but they all aim to give guaranteed
pathways into higher education.
