Performing arts production

performing arts production

Staging a performance requires great overall vision, as well as extensive preparation, research, and coordination. Performing arts production offers two paths of specialisation that allow you to work with all the vital elements needed to realize a creative vision, including ways to refine and elevate performance development, production, and execution.

The programme requires that you have a strong capacity for collaborative work, that you are curious artistically and technically, that you have good ideas, and that you are prepared to take the lead and seize the initiative.

You will select one of the two specialisations within performing arts production. If you love to design, build, and work with materials, you should choose ‘stagecraft’ where you will work with props and scenic construction. If overall vision is your strength, and if you want to collaborate closely with other production professionals to plan, organize, coordinate, and execute different project and production formats, you should choose the ‘management’ specialisation. Some study elements are common to all students across the two specialisations, while others allow for individual or professional development within the specialisations.

During this three-year program, you will learn methodologies and practical skills which will allow you actualize artistic visions and handle complex processes when working with projects and performances. You will also hone your sense of independence and your ability to initiate and execute performing arts projects in various formats.

EMPLOYMENT

The management specialisation will prepare you to serve as a stage manager and production manager, while the stagecraft specialisation will provide you with the tools you need to work as a props manager and as a head of stage. In general, there are excellent employment opportunities and very low unemployment rates for bachelors in performing arts production.
