Hikaru Toda

Filmmaker/Ethnographer

"Having have previously studied Visual Anthropology, the MA in Performance Making has widened my perspective on tools of communications and study of social interaction through practice. The emphasis on collaborative work in the course has taught me the essential skills applicable in any collaborative creative process such as filmmaking. The MA has also provided me with a practical approach to research in carrying out ethnographic studies where the site specific understanding of people and their environments are of great importance. Overall the MA has given me the greater appreciation to human expressions and emotions."
