**About the course**
Modules have at their core the practical work that helps you explore the nature of performance, and nurtures your growth as a creative artist. You will be given an overview of the theatre arts industry and be supported to operate effectively within it; developing an understanding of the broader economic, political, social and technological context. The course is delivered by practitioners with strong academic backgrounds.
**Modules include**
- Industry practice
- Small-scale theatre
- Major performance
- The Evolving Practitioner (acting)

Recent graduates and current BA students work closely with many local and national arts organisations such as Dance4, Tom Dale, Nottingham Lakeside Theatre, James Cousins, National Dance Company Wales, the Royal National Theatre, Nottingham Playhouse, Flying High Expressive Arts, the National Youth Theatre, Nonsuch, Ditto Theatre Company, LaPelle’s Factory and Dragon’s Breath Theatre Company.
This leads to quality work experience opportunities in performance and facilitation, and often leads directly into employment for many of our BA graduates. Students are encouraged to attend an international residency during the course. In previous years, students have visited Budapest, Nice, New York City, Lisbon, Barcelona, Prague and Madrid.

In addition to this, students will have access to the TV studio in the nearby Adams Building, as well as a high- quality learning resource centre.
