CSM Alive
Join the graduating students of the Central Saint Martins BA (Hons) Performance: Design and Practice course as they share their final projects, a series of short live works which challenge convention and unleash raw ideas.
CSM Alive is a platform for BA Performance: Design and Practice students to explore and push the boundaries of traditional and contemporary performance practice. The work presented is interdisciplinary, collaborative, and risk taking, drawing upon student’s practices and knowledges on space, body, object, time, movement, transmedia, film, immersive technologies, and text.
