Course Details

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre

Course Description

From Shakespeare to Shortland Street, from a simple chalk square to the most elaborate multimedia setting, Theatre offers the seductive possibility of getting into someone else's skin, of seeing life through a new pair of eyes. A Bachelor of Arts (BA) major in Theatre at Victoria gives you an opportunity to understand this impulse and what it means for an individual or a society. And it offers the opportunity to act on this impulse yourself using the resources of the Theatre programme's own fully equipped theatre, Studio 77. Wellington has New Zealand's most vibrant theatre community, alive with both mainstream and fringe performance, and, with the New Zealand International Arts Festival, hosts innovative overseas acts. It is also home to the country's most exciting and quickly expanding film industry. Theatre at Victoria is a foundation for creativity and career paths in both stage and screen.
