These courses believe in the power of creative arts practice in social, emotional and political contexts and the importance of the role it plays in regional, national and international communities.

You will have the opportunity to engage in skills training and be directed in numerous live, outward facing performances alongside a continual engagement with academic and theoretical perspectives.

We have an emphasis on discipline, focus and ambition, coupled with high expectations while you study.
