Design for Performance and Interaction MArch

UCL (University College London)

The Design for Performance and Interaction MArch is a radical, transdisciplinary master's degree that teaches students to understand and design performances and interactive experiences. The Design for Performance and Interaction course welcomes students from an array of artistic and technical backgrounds to work with interactive technologies to consider objects, space, people, and systems as potential performers. Throughout this master’s degree, students gain advanced skills to design for performance and interaction, informed by multidisciplinary theories taken from architecture, performing arts, digital media, spatial interaction, anthropology, sociology, psychology, cybernetics, cognitive neuroscience, or aesthetics. Structured to offer the widest scope for creativity, this degree facilitates and empowers students to find their own unique design vision, with an emphasis on prototyping, from interactive objects to staged events or performance architecture. The course is designed for students who wish to develop careers in physical and virtual interaction design, interactive architecture, the design of performance spaces, or the creation of performative events at a range of scales and venues.
