BA Theatre and Performance Studies

at University of Bristol

The Theatre and Performance Studies course builds your understanding and practical skills by exploring critical and historical frameworks alongside practical workshops, performance opportunities, and production-based tasks. There are opportunities to engage with professional theatre-makers and our museum-accredited archive, the Theatre Collection too, developing a range of critical and practical skills, whilst diversifying your awareness of potential future careers.

In your first year, you will learn how to analyse performance while developing practical skills in a range of performance practices, including staging play texts, developing workshops, and engaging in production work for the theatre. In subsequent years you will choose from a range of options that will deepen your analytical, critical, practical and historical expertise around your interests and aspirations.
