The emphasis of the course is the development of theatre makers committed to innovative, content driven visual performance for contemporary environments.
The course has been devised in response to student led demand and the BHA commissioned report identifying Brighton and the region as an important focus for street arts and outdoor arts development. Student work has toured to Edinburgh, Brighton, London and Arundel Festivals, The Hayward Gallery, De La Warr Pavilion and Basement Productions.
In line with the very successful Theatre Arts Foundation Degrees, it consists of a 10 unit programme which carefully balances performance skills and craft development, production/event and industry experience with academic study.
