BA CPP

The CPP degree programme is a challenging four-year undergraduate degree for aspiring performance makers who wish to work collaboratively and develop skills as performers, directors, and cultural leaders.

 

The scope of the programme is exciting and varied. You will be able to explore the realization of ideas through the disciplines of performance, education, installation, movement, research, and documentation. You will develop your performance skills and connect with practicing artists. You will push yourself and push boundaries, creating new works with image, action, sound, and text. And eventually you will leave the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland as an independent and entrepreneurial self-managing artist. 

 

You have to want to explore your place in the world, and be prepared to question what performance is, and your own practice. The staff team aim to nurture enquiring minds and it is important that you are able to articulate what interests you, what politicizes you, and are open minded to a new learning experience.

 

Throughout your time with us, you will be encouraged to claim your own education. We’ll give you a huge amount of freedom, but you will need to be able to take control of your learning in order to make the most of a less structured and forward-thinking approach. You will be constantly challenged, but you will also be supported, by us, and your classmates. You will develop your performance skills in our world-class facilities, and we’ll give you as many opportunities as we can in professional contexts.

 

A major strength of our programme is that we encourage our students to be outward-facing whilst at the same time taking advantage of all the fantastic opportunities which come with attending an energetic and dynamic Conservatoire. We expect our students to surprise us. If you can tell us what you want to do, and why, then we will help you do it.
