Theatre
Come Perform With Us!
The Theatre Department is committed to the pursuit of excellence and rigour in our training, and we have some of the best artist-scholars in their field teaching in our world-class facilities. Students enjoy small classes, high student-teacher contact time, and leave our programs as holistic theatre artists with an impressive array of skills in performance, technical theatre, theatre creation, production, and design.
The Department of Theatre launched two new programs in the fall of 2022; the new BFA in Devised Performance and Theatre Creation, and the new BA in Drama and Theatre studies. We offer a common first year for both programs, so students develop a strong understanding of the practical and pedagogical foundations of devised performance and theatre creation no matter which degree they pursue.
The new BFA in Devised Performance and Theatre Creation is unlike anything else currently being offered in Canada.
With a focus on working together devised theatre is built on the strengths and interests of the people involved and centres the theatre artist in the performance they create for an audience. Developing invaluable skills of collaboration, and self-expression, students emerge from our Devised Performance and Theatre Creation programs as holistic artists that can capably step into several roles within the creative sector.
