Courses

As a student on the MA or MFA Advanced Theatre Practice at Central, you can expect to engage in a collaborative laboratory for practical experimentation, create new work for an extensive range of public encounters and play a leading role in tomorrow’s performance and theatre making worlds.

The MA Applied Theatre encourages investigation into the possibilities and contradictions of drama and theatre practice as transformative and rehabilitative, and engages practically and critically with a range of theories and current practices.

The courses offer real-world creative producing opportunities within Central’s production calendar and with extensive industry partners, enabling you to build on your existing practice. These skills are in ever-increasing demand in a competitive production environment.

As a doctoral student at Central, you will be fully immersed in our research culture, which is one of enquiry, innovation and experimentation. You will be engaged in exploring new and pioneering ideas and practices under the supervision of research active staff, many of whom are the leading scholars and practitioners in their fields.

The MA/MFA Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media offers a vocational training in writing drama across a range of different media contexts.
