Master of Arts - Arts, Health and Performance

This multi-disciplinary Masters course examines the potential of participatory arts, performance science and artistic practice to enhance health, wellbeing, education/training and performance. Theories, research and practice within disciplines of psychology, sociology, physiology and pedagogy will be related to participatory/inclusive and elite arts contexts. There is engagement with research and practice throughout the course and there is an opportunity to develop a research project that can take different forms such as practice/performance-based, lab-based and/or written.

Students benefit from expertise, talks and workshops from clinicians, practitioners and artists as the Sidney De Hann Centre for Arts and Health and Centre for Practice Research in the Arts are part of the University and campus. The Canterbury campus offers a studio theatre, performance studios, studio-lab, music studios, a concert hall, a sports centre with fully equipped gym, and green areas and gardens.
