Movement: Directing and Teaching

You will normally have a degree or equivalent in a subject that includes an element of movement or dance. Graduates of other disciplines will be considered if they can provide evidence of previous training and experience in movement or dance. If you have a strong movement background and professional experience of working with movement for at least two years, you will be considered for non-standard entry.

An offer will normally only be made after interview.

Applicants for whom English is not their first language are required to prove their English language proficiency by gaining an overall score of 7.0 in an IELTS test. We do accept equivalent English language qualifications. Applicants are advised to gain this certification as early as possible.

If you are selected for an interview for a place on MA or MFA Movement: Directing and Teaching we will require you to prepare the following:

• a simple, short movement exercise that you would teach to a trainee actor (no longer than 10 minutes). You will teach this exercise at the interview and discuss your objectives as a teacher. This is our chance to see you in action as a potential movement teacher/director and to identify whether you have potential for analysis and reflection
• a short example of your own movement work, which should last no longer than 10 minutes and reflect your particular movement style and connection to movement
• a 1,500 word essay explaining your reasons for applying to the course.

You should bring with you clothes suitable for a movement session, and some written evidence of any academic qualifications.

The interview process will also give you an opportunity to find out more about the course and the School.
