Develop your voice as an artist, your skill as a theatre-maker, your critical thinking and your industry and business knowledge by joining our MA Theatre Making. Firmly embedded in Kent’s thriving creative landscape, this course will prepare you for making theatre and performance in, and in response to, the world today.
The MA Theatre Making is intended for graduates from theatre and performing arts degrees and other related subjects, as well as emerging theatre artists who want to further pursue their experimentation with advanced theatre-making practices as an individual and/or company.
The challenging interdisciplinary curriculum will help you develop skills in a range of approaches to making performance, drawing on techniques from directing, devising, ensemble performance and performance art.
You will test ideas and various creative roles through intensive laboratory projects; conceive, develop and manage a full-scale creative project at an advanced level; and engage in critical discourse through academic study to support your work as a ‘thinking practitioner’.
The course also equips you with the ability to document and reflect on your practice, provides you with industry knowledge such as fundraising strategies and marketing, and gives you the opportunity to develop a portfolio with which to launch into professional artistic work.
A first or second class honours degree in a relevant subject (or equivalent).
