This MA provides you with the opportunity to study theatre and performance in a dynamic research environment in the heart of London. From contemporary theatres to live art performances, cultural tourism and the spectacles of the West End, avant-garde dramas and political interventions, site-specific events, choreographies and compositions, you'll be introduced to a range of theatre and performance practices. You will explore the impact of society, both specific to theatre histories and ongoing wider political agency including: Black Lives Matter, the MeToo movement and challenges of sustainability and the climate emergency. You'll also have the option to take a practice-based module, Performance Lab.
Our graduates take the skills that they develop through our course to work in the arts and other related industries, including museum, curatorial, and archival work, production, dramaturgy, journalism, performance and theatre and performance-related arts management and administration. Others choose to continue their research in the field further at doctoral level.
