The MA Site Specific Theatre Practice was the first course of its kind in the UK, Mountview’s MA in Site-Specific Theatre Practice was created and led by Geraldine Pilgrim; a leading practitioner in the creation of site-specific performances and installations.
The course consisted of a variety of salons, seminars, and masterclasses, as well as site visits, practical projects, and a site residency, with strong emphasis placed on learning through practice.
Aimed at practitioners with a fine art or theatre background, this 1-year full time practical course encouraged artists to diversify or expand their artistic skills into the area of site–specific practice. Applications were accepted from those with experience in the fine art, live art, theatre, or related industries, as well as those currently studying at BA level..
