Being self or being other, moving fast or playing dead, miming deeds or slamming poetry, treading the boards or screening on sails … Studying dance, theatre and performance – whether a novice or an experienced artist – is ideal for those wishing to be creative practitioners in contemporary dance and performance, or those seeking career opportunities in the performing arts and associated organisations. 

This major assumes a wide definition of dance, theatre and performance, and you’ll be encouraged to study broadly. It considers not only their aesthetic dimensions but also their social, cultural, historical and metaphorical frameworks. To develop as a consummate artist, you’ll be given opportunities to explore your own performance making, combining theoretical and conceptual understandings with practical production experience. You’ll learn how to communicate and debate ideas in a range of contexts to various audiences.
