You acquire a deep understanding of the history and theory of performance and develop a high standard of competence in the practical, technical, and collaborative aspects of theatre.
In your first two years, you gain a breadth of understanding across four key areas: theatre studies; acting and performance; technical theatre and design; and creative practice. All of our courses combine theory and applied learning, and there are opportunities to extend this knowledge and skills through active participation in theatre productions.
In years three and four, you define and refine your creative vision and academic interests through independent and performance-research projects, while also sharpening your critical thinking skills in the evaluation and interpretation of theatrical genres, movements, performances, and texts. Upper-level creative practice courses in acting, playmaking, design, devising, and direction give you in-depth exposure to more advanced skills and techniques, as well as opportunities to apply, compare, and evaluate alternate creative approaches.
To round out your set of skills, you also have the opportunity to study the interdisciplinary relationship of theatre to other media (i.e. film, video, digital media) and other forms of artistic and creative practice (i.e. visual arts, playwriting).
The UFV Bachelor of Arts with a Theatre major prepares you to think critically, approach problems creatively, and work collaboratively to develop innovative solutions. These transferable skills are valued in the workplace and open up a variety of employment opportunities.
