Theatre, Performance and Participation (Taught)

Why study MA Theatre, Performance and Participation at Goldsmiths
This is an interdisciplinary MA programme for performance makers, researchers, facilitators and writers who want to use performance to respond to the most urgent social, political and ecological issues of our times.

The MA Theatre, Performance & Participation programme allows you to specialise in one of four pathways while working and learning across disciplines:

• Performance Makers & Theatre Artists

• Applied Theatre & Participatory Artists

• Writers & Dramaturgs

• Cultural Producers & Critical Researchers

This programme equips you with the skills, networks and resilience to contribute to, build and reimagine artistic and cultural structures in theatre, performance and participation.

It is designed for socially aware, critically curious and innovative artists, facilitators and researchers that want to develop their creative practice, theoretical analysis, and new forms of collaboration and activism.

You will:

• expand your understanding of the contexts and politics shaping performance, while critically engaging with your role and approach as an artist, collaborator and/or researcher

• experiment with different ways of making or using performance and develop an innovative, socially responsive practice

• delve deeply into knowledge and skills related to your specific discipline

• develop, realise and reflect on an independent project, engaging with material of personal and professional interest
