Description

Inspiring and imaginative, the Theatre programme at Dartington (now part of University College Falmouth) is renowned for generating original, independent theatre makers. It encourages and enables innovative approaches to physically-based, ensemble collaboration. Practical and theoretical work focuses on devising for performance - ways of generating and composing new material - and is informed by a concern for experiment, innovation and critical debate. Other core considerations include embodiment, spaces for performance, context, and systems of documentation and reflection.

There is a network of regional, national and international projects, festivals and other opportunities in which to explore and apply your skills. Students also have access to residencies and workshops with international artists.

Dartington also has undergraduate courses in Choreography, Music, Visual Performance, and Writing, as well as a range of taught MA courses and MPhil/PHD research.

Facilities include: a wide range of purpose-built fully equipped studio spaces; editing suites (audio, video); technical equipment managed by ‘Sound and Vision', a team of specialist technicians, who both support student work and offer short courses in particular areas (sound, lighting, etc.)
