Performance Arts Applicant Taster Day activities - 14 March

An Applicant Taster Day is an unmissable opportunity to get hands-on with your chosen course. Tailored for DMU applicants and the course you've applied for, we'll be holding demonstrations, exercises and activities that give you a flavour of what you'll experience when studying here at DMU. Some sessions are subject to availability and have limited spaces, so we recommend booking early.

Below is a list of the activities running on the day for Performance Arts courses. Take a look at what's going on for the course you've applied for, then book your place on the form underneath.

  1. Arts and Festival Management

    So, You Want to Run a Festival?
    Festivals are all around us and expanding at an amazing rate in the UK, from music and food festivals to the Caribbean Carnival and Diwali. This workshop will introduce you to the exciting world of festivals and takes you through some of the thought processes festival directors have when planning and organising a festival.

  2. Dance

    Improvisation to Create Choreography
    Working in small groups, we will look at how we can use improvisation tasks to create a short, set choreography

  3. Drama

    Viewpoints
    Viewpoints are a way of both training performers and creating movement and space on stage. Viewpoint training encourages actors to focus on the importance of time and space in the theatre. In this session we will explore the dynamic ways in which using Viewpoints can help you quickly generate bold theatrical work.

  4. Performing Arts

    Devising Performance
    In this practical session we will introduce you to a number of devising skills, techniques and considerations in relation to making performance, drawing on the work of contemporary performance practitioners.
