24 MonthsThe MA Performance Practice (Dance) programme is the first practice-based programme of its kind in South Asia. With its integrative curriculum that includes physical training, choreography, critical thinking and inter-disciplinary studies, the programme will equip its participants to redefine and rearticulate the boundaries of dance practice as performers, creators, researchers, pedagogues or managers through a critical engagement with the embodied cultures and the evolving dance ecology of the Indian subcontinent. Through a supportive dialogue that enables students to develop and refine their work, students are encouraged to become agents of their own learning.
At the end of this programme, students will be reflexive practitioners who engage in the disciplines of dancing and making with a sensitive and critical approach. They will have an informed understanding of the complexities of the field and its historical and cultural contexts. They will also be able to identify ways in which they might enter and contribute to the evolving dance ecologies of the Indian subcontinent.
