Theatre Arts

About this course

Theatre arts is a discipline that integrates the study and practice of performance, design, direction, and the wider craft of making theatre. It is a practical subject that takes ideas seriously, asking students to think about what theatre is, what it can do, and how the choices made in production create or undermine meaning, while also developing the technical and creative skills to put that thinking into practice. Studying it means working in the space between the theoretical and the made, understanding that these are not opposites but aspects of the same activity. At the University of Derby this programme is delivered at Derby Theatre, a fully equipped professional venue and major live performance space. This means your learning happens in a genuinely professional environment, giving you industry contacts and experience as part of your course rather than as an add-on. The programme i
