Master of Arts in Performance (Directing)

Program Overview

  • Direct productions at our campus theatres and in Bath’s professional theatres and venues.
  • Get the chance to be an Assistant Director to an experienced Director who is already working in the industry.
  • Practical classes and seminars with industry professionals give you the skills and knowledge to facilitate safe, creative spaces.

MA Performance (Directing) is designed to help you build a portfolio of skills and experience across diverse theatre productions. From how to develop your ideas to full scale shows, and from classical to contemporary theatre, you’ll get a broad and advanced understanding of working in theatre today.

We’ll encourage you to work to professional standards on ambitious projects designed for public audiences. You’ll get the chance to direct your own productions and collaborate with professionals, especially at our student-led festival, SparkFest, which we run in partnership with Bath Festivals, and as part of our in-house company, Bath Spa Productions.

You’ll explore approaches to directing through seminars and practical work. Alongside this, you’ll develop an advanced understanding of actor training, so that you can facilitate an actor’s process.

We recognise that each director will be at a different stage in their practice, and as such we’ve designed the course to be flexible enough to support your individual development. Throughout your MA you’ll receive bespoke support and expert guidance to enable you to pursue your own creative journey.
