[Kim Solga]

Hi all,

This from Milija Gluhovic at Warwick.

>  
> We would like to introduce you to the
> Erasmus Mundus MA in International Performance Research (MAIPR) 2011-12
>  
> Funded by the European Union, the MAIPR is a 16-month course offered by four European universities: University of Warwick (UK); University of Amsterdam (Netherlands); University of Arts in Belgrade (Serbia); and University of Helsinki (Finland). The MAIPR was designed by the consortium members to attract the best theatre and performance-related students and practitioners from around the world, in order to create a truly pan-global Masters’ programme. 
> 
> The programme offers 20 Erasmus Mundus scholarships to the best applicants: 12 at 36 000 € for ‘third-country (non-EU)’ students; 8 at 14 000 € for EU students. More details on the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship competition can be found via http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/theatre_s/postgraduate/maipr/fees_emscholarships
>  
> The course starts in September 2011 and finishes with submission of the final dissertation on 31st December 2012.  Students study at two of the four institutions: a ‘home’ institution (where they start and end the course), and a ‘mobility’ (where they study during spring and summer). In addition, all students attend a summer school in Finland, run by the University of Helsinki in collaboration with the MAIPR staff for the other three universities, thereby benefiting from additional teaching and supervision by Finnish tutors throughout the programme.
>  
> Those successfully completing the programme receive a double degree from the two universities at which they studied.
>  
> The aims of the MAIPR are manifold. However, an important aim is to introduce, develop and challenge the three concepts that make up the course’s title: ‘International, ‘Performance’, and ‘Research’.  The MAIPR consortium hopes to demonstrate how these concepts are informed, questioned and perhaps disputed by local, national and/or global  (pre)-conceptions and perceptions.
>  
> The following are the five questions that form the core of the MAIPR programme:
>  
> What does ‘international,’ ‘global,’ ‘transnational,’ or ‘cosmopolitan’ signify when coupled with performance or performance contexts? 
> How are performances linked to global networks and transnational flows of capital?  
> What are the roles of the theatre and performance curator in the new globalised economy?
> What is the responsibility of a European artist or scholar when commenting on performance traditions, history, or actual performances of former colonies or developing nations?
> How does theatrical communication function in response to issues of translation and transculturation?
> The programme includes a creative placement in the mobility country, and the curriculum is based around the following three modalities: scholarship, curation, and creative practice.
>  
> Academic entry requirements can be found via the MAIPR website: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/theatre_s/postgraduate/maipr/
>  
> Applicants apply through Warwick’s Postgraduate Admissions Office.  Application procedures and course details are available via:

>  
> MAIPR fees are competitive for those who are not successful in securing a scholarship: €12 000 for non-EU students; €6,000 for EU students
>  
> More information is obtainable from Lindzey Mullard, the MAIPR Programme Officer, via maipr at warwick.ac.uk or +44 (0)24 7615 0913.
