The MA Acting and Theatre Making at the University of West London invites you to critically examine your role as both an actor and a theatre creator. This postgraduate programme is ideal for those seeking to deepen their understanding of innovative performance practices and curatorial approaches within contemporary theatre. You will explore diverse theatre languages, from text and physicality to space and music, preparing you to devise and present compelling performance events. Working within the vibrant environment of the London College of Music, you will collaborate across disciplines and with industry professionals, fostering a rich and dynamic learning experience.
This full-time, on-campus Masters degree, studied over one year, focuses on developing your practical and research skills through a hands-on, project-based approach. You will engage in creating new work, adapting existing material, and exploring different approaches to characterisation within varied socio-political contexts. The course culminates in a significant Practice-Research Project, allowing you to share your unique development and findings in the field of acting and theatre making. You will graduate equipped to build a career as an independent theatre practitioner, capable of producing your own work, leading workshops, or pursuing theatre research and event curation.
