Working across disciplines of acting, music and movement, this exciting and collaborative course responds to the creative industry demands of today by developing artists who will graduate as multi-skilled creative performers and practitioners.

You will work collaboratively and creatively with your peers who may be musicians, dancers, and performers. You will develop skills using creative technologies to create performances, produce events, and develop yourself as a creative practitioner.

You will develop professional practice, through engagement with industry. This may include working with organisations such as Stratford Circus or the National Youth Theatre on large-scale productions, or working on industry briefs with arts production companies, and taking part in masterclasses and workshops with industry professionals.

All modules are led by practice and informed by research. You will work individually and collaboratively with others to develop, devise, compose, produce, and perform original work across traditional disciplines of drama, music, and dance.

You will be supported in developing technical and creative skills in sound, lighting and technical theatre, music, movement, voice, composition, and performance, through a range of lectures, workshops and master-classes, and through engagement with industry.

You will study 4 modules per year, covering a range of disciplines and practices. Each year will culminate in a showing of work, and large-scale performance pieces as part of a creative project production module. This will take place in professional performance venues and other sites that explore and express the vibrant diversity of East London.
