Designed for emerging arts practitioners, Royal Birmingham Conservatoires brand new PgCert, PgDip and MMus courses in Experimental Performance provide you with a unique opportunity to undertake independent artistic projects in a fully supportive environment. Available for the first time in September 2019, they enable practitioners from a variety of disciplines (including, but not limited to, instrumental/vocal performance, composition, dance, choreography, theatre, visual and performance art, creative writing) to come together with likeminded people. This course doesnt ask you to justify yourself against the background of tradition but gives you agency. People from every discipline are treated equally with emphasis placed on rigorous conceptual thought and idea development. By focusing on these non-discipline-specific aspects of performance you will contribute to a collaborative, discursive, and interdisciplinary working environment.

UK students should normally hold an honors degree.
