MA Theatre for Young Audiences - Part Time

This programme develops and expands the notion of students as producers of knowledge, with a pronounced emphasis on enhancing the employability of its graduates through live brief projects with existing partners such as schools, Lincoln Performing Arts Centre, and theatre for young audience practitioners.

The programme aims to provide students with a professionally-facing environment in which to explore and interrogate their performance-making within a robust, methodologically informed academic framework.

Key features may include:

Supervision and teaching by practitioners
Leading practitioners as guest lecturers
Extensive opportunities to show performance work in Lincoln and the county, with an expectation that students will be supported in their ambition to produce work for as broad a geographic and demographic audience as possible
Taught content that transfers the knowledge and skills necessary to allow students to confidently prepare funding bids for performance processes within and beyond their studies
Local, regional, and national opportunities for making and showing performance work
The opportunity for extended, practice-based work.

This programme is designed to lead directly into the field of theatre for young audiences, however it may also prove valuable to those interested in teaching, management, or policy-making in the arts.

First or upper second class honours degree in a relevant subject. Applications from students with relevant industry experience (or equivalent) will be considered on their merits.
