What we offer

 

We are UAL

Central Saint Martins is a world-leading centre for arts and design education. Its reputation stems from the creative energy of its staff and students and the stellar achievements of its graduates nationally and internationally. The nine programmes at CSM explore the boundaries of their discipline. Students and staff are continually alert to new ideas and are curious and restless in developing beyond the expected norms of their subject, so emerging work is at the forefront of its area. CSM sits at the heart of London’s creative scene, and of one of Europe’s most dynamic new culture and innovation quarters at King’s Cross, making the college increasingly important to London’s cultural life, and indicative of our general desire to open up CSM to as broad an audience as possible.

BA Performance: Design and Practice promotes an experimental, frequently collaborative approach to making performance. An approach that’s driven by curiosity, process, and a politically-engaged poetics which engages with social issues and the people most affected by them. We believe the world can be a better place and that it is the responsibility of all art practices to make it so. We are committed to diversity and the idea that diverse environments are the most vibrant creatively. We believe in the potential performance has to shape our identities and to challenge the status-quo that exists in society.  We aim to push the boundaries of what performance and performance design can do, while also keeping in mind practices of radical care, de-colonialisation & sustainability and providing an environment where people no longer feel they have to manoeuvre in order to get seen, heard and acknowledged.
