School of Dance & Theatre
Overview
The School of Dance & Theatre offers programmes that prepare students for roles onstage, offstage and backstage. With a rigorous and deeply personal approach, the School nurtures today’s talent into tomorrow’s leading performance-makers.
Students will be exposed to a rich variety of performance cultures from around the region, and train through rehearsal-based processes led by artist-educators alongside visiting international directors, choreographers and music directors.
Here, boundaries are meant to be stretched. The School embraces the fluidity of cultures and disciplines, with an ethos rooted in contemporary performance. Students will be encouraged to experiment, engage with technology and develop work that speaks to today’s concerns and fast-changing creative landscape.
Learning will be brought to life on stage, screen and site—through regular public performances and showcases at professionally-equipped venues, film studios as well as virtual and experimental spaces. Students will also gain real-world experience by researching and developing events, workshops and new works in collaboration with industry and community partners.
By graduation, students will be more than technically proficient. They will be reflective and collaborative, ready to lead across disciplines, industries and platforms as both an artist and entrepreneur.
