Theatre and Performance

The Theatre and Performance programmes at Scarborough have an established reputation for exploring some of the most exciting and important forms of theatre practice in the 20th and 21st centuries. The programmes re-examine the heritage of twentieth century theatre and focus particularly on the ideas and practices of key practitioners in the field. From this perspective, we debate the future of theatre, its new directions, opportunities and possibilities.

Video clips of recent performances and student testimonials can be found in our video gallery.

We welcome students who seek to engage with these important connections and with the issues, ideas and energies that make theatre and performance such an exciting, engaging field in which to work. From within a supportive learning environment, in which students are able to work effectively with ideas and new approaches to making, performing and reflecting on theatre, we work together to realise your potential.

As lecturers, we bring experience of academic research, performance practice and the connections that exist between practice and theory. We are critically engaged with practice and analysis of contemporary theatre work and have developed close relationships with many professional artists and companies. We regularly invite guest artists to create work with students and present masterclass workshops.
