The MA Dramaturgy program provides an in-depth study of drama, theater, and performance creation through both practical and theoretical lenses. Students collaborate with renowned artists, learning varied techniques for performance development—from ensemble theater to experimental live art. The curriculum includes academic analysis of performance methodologies, historical contexts, and theoretical frameworks for theatrical creation, both within and beyond traditional rehearsal spaces. To strengthen both creative and academic expertise, participants will develop an original playwriting initiative and explore professional aspects like audience engagement, arts pedagogy, and production management.
