Contemporary Theatre Practice 

 Be a step ahead, create the future of contemporary theatre today. The BA(Contemporary Theatre Practice) is a practical performance degree course for people who are keen to innovate and for aspiring theatre makers who wish to work collaboratively to make performances which have something to say about the world in which we live.

If you are interested in the disciplines of performance, installation, movement, research and documentation in various forms and combinations, if you are interested in hybrid art forms which are emerging in response to the times, if you are interested in working with image, action, sound and text to create new performance works and in developing yourself as an independent artist, then this is the course for you.

Staffed by practising artists, this innovative and challenging degree places collaborative practices and interdisciplinary approaches at its heart. This broad based approach values the belief that the contemporary artist specialises in the realisation of ideas rather than the pursuit of specialism.

Graduates follow a variety of careers; they set up their own companies, work as solo artists in the live arts sector, direct or perform in devised, community or educational theatre, and work as freelance drama workers for theatre companies or community organisations. With further specialised study, graduates have also become drama teachers and drama specialists in settings such as prisons and healthcare organisations.
