Key Course Facts
Course Description
Our Theatre and Performance MA programme encourages you to explore your own ideas in depth and build a body of original, thought-provoking work. A key benefit of the programme is its flexibility: across compulsory and optional modules, you can develop your interests in both theoretical and practical projects to advance your career.
We balance rigorous theoretical and historical exploration with experimental performance practice. You will work with our internationally respected academic staff and attend lectures, workshops, and mentoring sessions with visiting artists throughout your studies, building your professional network in the process. In recent years our MA has hosted a wide range of high-profile artists, including Stacy Makishi, Peggy Shaw and Manuel Vason among others.
You will also see the latest in contemporary theatre, from warehouse raves to productions at international institutions like the Old Vic.
If you want to develop your experience in the cultural industries, the Department can offer you a placement at one of our partner organisations.
You will be an important part of academic life in the Department: our postgraduate students' work directly benefits from, and contributes to, our world-class scholarly and artistic reputation.
