MA in Digital Performance

 

School of Arts

Brunel University

West London

Course Convener: Paul Verity Smith 

 

This is a distinctive and unique interdisciplinary program focused on industry 
graduate needs, and involves collaboration between the School of Arts and the 
School of Engineering and Design. It centers on the integration of creative 
arts with science and technology to develop students' skills to advanced levels 
and to equip them with the expertise to contribute to, as well as respond to, 
the rapidly changing requirements of the creative, broadcast and communication 
industries. Drawing on significant academic, creative and technological 
strengths from both Schools, the program's high degree of currency and 
interdisciplinarity, as well as its emphasis on employability, will be highly 
attractive to students. The teaching team includes: Steve Dixon, Johannes 
Birringer, Stelarc, Sue Broadhurst, Gretchen Schiller, Paul Verity Smith, and 
Kjell Petersen.

 

The program is designed to educate and train multi-skilled artist-technicians, 
enabling them to adapt their techniques to different art, entertainment and 
media forms. A clear skill gap has been identified within the theatre, 
broadcast and communication industries (as well as in the art gallery sector) 
for expert and creative technicians who are not only able to realize 
directors/artists' ambitions for highly technological films and broadcasts, 
theatre/dance performances, animations, music compositions, and installations, 
but also to pro-actively collaborate and artistically contribute to them. 
Graduates will also be initiators and producers of their own original work 
across a range of electronic arts and performance, as well as participating in 
the development of new modes of cultural and artistic practices. The program 
incorporates development of business, production and entrepreneurial skills, 
recognizing the demands for multi-skilled and collaborative approaches in the 
industry.
