Program Overview

Research by means of creative practice is central to the graduate programs of the School of Performing Arts, where we seek to nurture creative excellence hand in hand with intellectual rigour and depth of investigation. The Dance specialisation of the MFA invites research proposals that are centred in choreographic and performance practice, with questions focused upon broad ranging aspects of dancebased performance development and its realisation or topics that illuminate or expand upon the medium in some way.
