Red yarn has been spread around the entire space, hanging over the balcony, across the widows and forming small piles on the floor. There is a large assortment of household items and trinkets that have been wrapped in red yarn. Two people sit around these items, face to face with another person, whilst a final person stands up leaning their body over the balcony.

Explore the limitless potential of dance on our world-leading interdisciplinary postgraduate programmes

Postgraduate study at London Contemporary Dance School is defined by our four approaches and values that cross over all our Masters courses. We believe in:

Student-centered learning: Seminars and personal tutorials build upon your ideas, interests, skills and artistic practice.

Developing your artistic voice and agency: We encourage you to expand your practice and knowledge in dance and related fields, reframing and contextualising your practice. You develop your artistic agency and professional confidence in negotiating your careers.

Practice-led courses: This allows for more engaging content, challenging you to think in new ways, grounding theoretical understanding in ‘real world’ contexts, and providing skills and networks that will improve your employment prospects.

Guest artists and lecturers: Our network and community is global and diverse as a result of our 50 plus year history of being at the forefront of dance development. This allows us to collaborate with current artists and practitioners ensuring our courses are current and diverse.
