Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Theatre) provides full time immersive and rigorous, intensive studio-based training for the 21st century performer and theatre maker. The course celebrates the creative potential of the performer as a collaborative artist and prepares students to become accomplished actors and highly skilled devisers of their own work.

It provides students with ongoing training and skills development in acting, devising, movement, voice, collaborative practice and dramaturgy to support the performance and creation of new work. Students experience a range of theatre-making provocations - solo and ensemble practice, site-specific work, applied theatre and contemporary performance.

Students will develop their own practice as theatre artists informed by an understanding of historical paradigms and an application of current methodologies and will choose breadth subjects from the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, or from the University of Melbourne’s broad undergraduate subjects.
