Taking the MA course was a turning point for me—it was the moment I discovered the perfect fusion of two passions, film and dance. It felt as though I had finally found my tribe, where creativity and purpose intertwined, and everything clicked into place. Since completing the MA, I’ve had the opportunity to train and work as an intimacy coordinator, and the MA screendance course was essential in providing me with the foundational knowledge of film that made this possible.
