Working across a range of disciplines in design and making, in the first year you’ll learn the essential skills of design for theatre, film and performance – from visual storytelling in set and costume design, to model making, technical drawing, prop making, puppet making and more. We offer you the freedom to explore your own strengths and artistic direction as you drive projects from concept to realisation. In the second year you’ll develop design concepts for performance spaces, and choose a design specialism within which to develop the specific skills and expertise to turn your ideas into a reality. We offer a range of opportunities to put what you’ve learned into practice via externally commissioned projects and work experience. This has included designing and making costumes and sets for professional productions in theatres in London and France, using the facilities of the Royal Opera House Production Park.
