Welcome to the Theatre & Performance pages
THINKING - DOING - MAKING
All Theatre, Dance & Performing Arts courses at the University of Plymouth are deeply informed by the research, scholarship, training and creative practice of our staff members.
Our specialisms include:
- devising, collaborative and interdisciplinary practice (including work with new technologies)
- site-specific performance
- dance-theatre and physical theatre: training and choreography
- playwriting
- directing practice
- integrated disabled and non-disabled performance practice
- live art and avant-garde performance practices
- gender and sexuality in performance
- intercultural and cross-cultural theatre practices
We also support programmes of study at our partner colleges throughout Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset. If you successfully complete a two year Foundation degree at one of our partner colleges, it is possible to enter directly into the final year of our BA (Hons) Theatre & Performance programme.
