Built on our Dartington legacy and focused on devised, collaborative, sited and immersive work, this course is for the total theatre-maker. Renowned for launching the careers of original performers, directors, and internationally leading companies, our course ?covers all aspects of making and producing. By forming student companies, you’ll experience everything from design, construction and rigging through to composition, development, performance and acting. Through workshops, seminars, tutorials and lectures, you’ll learn the physical and technical skills you need to pursue a career in the performance industry, as well as developing an understanding of theatre in historical and contemporary contexts – all the while reflecting on your own work and that of your peers.

Your course experience will be enhanced by visiting lecturers, residencies and workshops from professionals drawn from our extensive network.
