Induction Brief

Written by current students from Performance Design and Practice at CSM for new first years. It informs them of the course, college, london living and answers some Frequently Asked Questions:

Welcome to Central Saint Martins, BA Performance Design & Practice. This set of notes was put together by a few of the current students. These are things that we were told or wish we had been told at the start of our first year. Feel free to come and ask questions if you want help when you arrive.

This project is delivered in the first 2 weeks of term as an orienteering task to London, the subject, course and peers. Students are split into groups to research a specific area of London; individually they gather drawings, sketches and mementos which feed into a collective Rough Guide book that is collated, bound and given to each student as a record of the project and practical artefact to use through the year. The project introduces students to London life, the range of resources and themes it has to offer and also helps them to begin team working and bond as a group.
