Summary
Develop your unique voice as a writer and storyteller in the context of the School of Performance and Cultural Industries’ outstanding research in the fields of contemporary performance practice, creative and adaptive writing, digital and intermedial art, audience studies and cultural engagement.
On this Masters course, you’ll think critically about narrative, storytelling and performance in contemporary culture, developing your creative writing skills and knowledge across a range of genres, forms and media. You’ll have opportunities to pursue areas of interest, including tailored pathways in writing for theatre, performance, screen and new media.
Our diverse but close-knit community of professional writers, creative practitioners and innovative researchers is dedicated to developing new and emerging talent. You’ll be encouraged to test the limits of style, form and genre, and to explore how your work connects with our increasingly complex world.
Leeds has a thriving cultural scene, and the University has many connections to local arts organisations, allowing you to engage closely with the region’s theatres, museums, radio stations, film and television studios, and more. Our partnership with Leeds Playhouse offers a programme of specially created events and workshops every year, connecting you with one of the region’s most important centres for new writing.
