Theatre and Drama

Our Theatre and Drama major will give you the perfect start into a world of drama. You will be taught by professionals who not only teach theatre and drama, but who are actively working and producing in Perth and beyond. They will provide you with the practice-based knowledge and skills to pursue your passion with creative vision and professional discipline.

You can focus on specialising in acting, production, lighting, stage management or design. You will learn about the historical foundations of drama and theatre, as well as the most innovative and challenging contemporary work; you will be taught analytical and critical skills with which to develop your own ideas and theories. You will also be given the opportunity to enjoy the great literature of the world, and to write your own work. When you graduate you will be a versatile and informed practitioner; skilled at debating, analysing, arguing and communicating effectively.
