Theatre & Performance

See the other subjects we offer

Studying acting, theatre and performance means learning all about the creative process, and the broader cultural and industrial contexts in which theatre and performance gets made.  

As well as our BA Acting and Performance course, our joint courses with Theatre are based at Minghella Studios, the purpose-built home of the Department of Film, Theatre and Television. You’ll have access to a range of professional-level rehearsal and performance spaces – where you'll study alongside other creatively ambitious film and television students. The team of academics leading your studies includes specialists in contemporary British theatre and television, performance and ecology, set design and scenography, community theatre, scriptwriting and play development. 

As you explore a range of ideas and debates surrounding acting, theatre and performance, you’ll also be developing your practical skills, such as set building, lighting design and sound design, receiving hands-on support from our team of technicians.

Your assignments will aid your professional growth, ensuring that you're well placed for a career in the creative industries.

Recent exciting projects include a collaboration with Reading’s South Street Theatre, ‘Work in Progress’. Funded by Arts Council England, the initiative enabled our students to work directly alongside professional theatre companies in developing and performing new work. We also partner with leading regional companies such as Rabble Theatre and Reading Rep, and offer modules focused on career development.
