The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program specializing in theatre and performance delves into diverse artistic expressions, encompassing devised works, live art, and community-engaged practices. This innovative curriculum breaks from conventional theatre education by embracing modern performance techniques, alternative storytelling approaches, extended dramaturgical methods, avant-garde formats, digital media, and artistic investigation. The program investigates how core performance elements—duration, environment, physicality, language, and motion—can illuminate pressing societal issues, facilitate meaningful cultural engagement, and push boundaries in today's artistic landscape.
Hands-on studio classes are complemented by theoretical studies in performance and practical production courses with public presentations. Electives from other academic fields add cross-disciplinary perspectives to the program. Participants actively engage in staged performances while cultivating their original creative works.
Those more inclined toward theatre's historical, analytical, or conceptual aspects may consider the art, performance and cinema studies BA program as an alternative pathway.
