This independent research project - the practice-based dissertation - consists of a sustained piece of practice-based research that is documented in a submittable format, and a critical analysis (or written reflection) of 4,000-6,000 words. The form and scope of the practice is to be agreed between you and the supervisor and the MA convener. The documentation may accompany a live performance; or may document or otherwise consist of practice taking another form, including but not limited to performances with incidental audiences, one-to-one performances, performance for video or camera, online interventions, organising, or curating. Research development is enabled and supported by participation in a Dissertation Colloquium and Festival in May/June, in which you will present your research in progress and receive feedback from academic staff and other postgraduate students.
