Structure
This qualification provides unique research and development opportunities for current and future industry practitioners through a collaborative and interdisciplinary model for practice-based research, which responds to the team-based ethos of performance, media arts and emerging creative media industries.
You will ultimately widen the current conceptions of performance and art in a range of cultural and critical contexts. You will demonstrate the ability to engage in a sustained period of research, create innovative and unique performative works for a range of performance events, festivals, exhibitions, symposia, publications and may progress to further study at doctoral level.
Students in the first year are enrolled into AK1313 - Postgraduate Diploma in Performance and Media Arts. Upon completion of your coursework, you will work on a thesis project in the second year. You will undertake research in the field of performance and media arts, which contributes to the development of advanced knowledge in the chosen topic. Development of the thesis is a candidate-directed process, supported by supervision and peer critique.
