MA Choreography

The MA Choreography course is designed for professional choreographers who wish to develop their choreographic profile and professional skills.

Course Outline

Established in 2011, Central’s MA Choreography course is designed for professional choreographers who wish to develop their choreographic profile and professional skills. The course has been specifically developed for its flexibility, allowing students to develop critical reflection and research linked to the making of choreography while continuing to work as either a freelance dance practitioner or a dance company member. The focus of the MA in Choreography is choreography and research, and involves the development and refinement of prepared material for studio or theatre-based performance. The course is unique in providing a specialisation in ballet, although there is scope within the course for traditional practices, both past and current to be redefined, expanded, and developed. Students are given the opportunity to investigate the process of choreography by interrogating, identifying, developing, and modifying their existing skills. On successful completion of the MA, graduates will have had an opportunity to develop their own creative and artistic voice and will have increased their choreographic portfolio. Many of our MA graduates have further developed their careers within the dance profession, taking up leadership roles and contributing to the artistic development of UK and international dance companies.

From 9 June Central joined the registered Office for Students English higher education providers. From 1 August all undergraduate and postgraduate students studying at Central will be registered with Central School of Ballet rather than the Conservatoire of Dance and Drama. All degree courses will continue to be validated by the University of Kent and this change will have minimal impact on Central’s training and the student experience.

Good first degree in a relevant subject
