A major study in Theatre major offers a flexible program covering a wide range of areas in theatre and performance. Students will be able to undertake studies that include:

• Performance skills (Acting, Singing, Movement and Voice)

• Stagecraft

• Introduction to lighting and sound design

• Stage management

• Producing live performance

• Dramaturgy, history and theory

The course is primarily practice-based and offers opportunities to work with professional artists on the creation of contemporary theatre works. The course also emphasises theory and history as essential to the development of informed and self reliant practitioners.

In first year, students acquire competencies in performance skills and stagecraft with an emphasis on collaboration and ensemble practice. In second and third year, students can select a range of Theatre Studios that cover a diverse range of areas as well as study contemporary theatre history and theory. The third year culminates in a major project where students undertake a major creative work.

A Bachelor of Performance with majors in Acting, Performance-making and Technical Theatre is also offered by the Faculty of Creative Arts.

Students who complete the first year of the Bachelor of Creative Arts (Theatre) to a high performance standard may be permitted to transfer into the Bachelor of Performance.
