About Master of Arts - Theatre Practice
The University of Essex interdisciplinary MA Theatre Practice provides an opportunity for students to develop advanced knowledge of different processes of theatre-making, international performance traditions, approaches to practice-as-research (PaR), and methods of writing, directing and devising in professional contexts.
Students will explore a diverse range of artistic approaches, gain insights into related critical discourses and develop an in-depth understanding of the possible interrelationships between ‘practice’ and ‘research’ – investigating how practitioners at the cutting-edge of the performing arts make their ideas a tangible reality.
The course gives students the opportunity to advance their skills in their chosen area of: acting, applied theatre, devising, directing, and playwriting.
Teaching is research-led by staff in the Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies. It will often be complimented by engagement with invited professional theatre practitioners and guest speakers. Students also have the option to choose selected modules delivered by the School of Philosophy and Art History.
Essex is ranked first in the UK for Drama in the Guardian University Guide 2020 and top 5 for Dance, Drama and Cinematics in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020.
Be an actor, a writer, a director, a stage-manager, a producer – or something even more exciting! An MA Theatre Practice degree opens many doors. Creativity, communication and versatility are highly valued skills in a rapidly changing world.
