MA Performance: Theatre Making at Wimbledon College of Arts invites you to re-imagine the possibilities of theatre and performance and expand the horizons of your practice.
MA Performance: Theatre Making will enable you to develop your creative and critical practice. It will encourage you to become a confident and articulate theatre maker and researcher.
Performance at Wimbledon is approached through questions of politics and ethics as well as aesthetics and practice. The course asks you to examine them through practical investigation and experimentation in a studio context.

- Theatre-making as an integrated, multi-disciplinary practice. Combining, for example, writing, design, acting and dramaturgy.
- Developing innovative compositional strategies for performance-making as a studio-based, embodied and material practice.
- The creation of post-dramatic and politically engaged performance.
