This trailblazing MA invites you to develop and refine your screen-based practice.

Screendance encompasses a wide range of practices and we embrace its multidisciplinary nature and subject it to critical investigation.

The course is practice-led; it will evolve your skills and perspectives. We will challenge you to think about your work in a contemporary critical context. What drives your work? How does your work interact with audiences, other arts sectors, and wider society? A wide range of guest artists will expand your practice and inquiry.

London Contemporary Dance School promotes learner-centred teaching. Seminars and personal tutorials build upon your ideas, interests, skills and artistic practice. We foster a vibrant community of learning among our students and faculty.

We are the only Masters in the world that specialises in dance film. We attract artists from around the world, from film, dance, theatre, visual arts, and design. Our graduates lead and shape this flourishing art form.
