New Term...

Welcome to the start of the new term for the MAPP programmes, great to have new and returning students on MAPP DTP and also new students on the MAPP Dance (Specialism) programme too this term!

There were some interesting starts to our conversations via the two skype sessions on Friday and Saturdaywith some strong themes coming through around time/reflection, vulnerability/being brave and knowing and not knowing.

I believe we have a rich and vibrant community of practitioners on the MAPP programmes and it is the wealth of experiences you all bring to the programme through these discussions that make the programme and your journey on the MA both challenging and exciting.  Acknowledge the nerves at starting something new (the whole programme, the next module, Monday morning!) and embrace the confidence in the knowledge you bring to the programme and to this next phase of your learning. Do remember that the programmes are rooted in your Professional Practice, so while 'academia' and the university systems may be new and unfamiliar, your practice is not. Making these connections is fundamental to the programmes and your development as practitioners, artist-scholars as a result.

Be fiercely brave!!


If you're able to be in London on Feb 24th, jump straight in and join us for a day of artists sharing practice at the Narrating the Somatic Symposium - details and booking link below!
