Our brand idea
Our brand idea has been developed to outline what we stand for and should underpin everything we do:
A collaborative performance environment producing bold, innovative performers and experimental designers.
We offer an integrated multi-disciplinary performance environment that enables a unique, ensemble approach to theatre making and performance, engaging material practices, new technologies and performers to develop cutting edge, contemporary work. Students design, perform and manage theatre and live events to a professional level. We believe in a non-hierarchical, inclusive approach to performance making, that treats all the elements of Performance (acting, directing, writing, design, technologies) as equal partners. This provides the right environment to develop and equip talented pioneers in theatre and performance. We integrate actor and performance training with interactive technologies to explore and interrogate new ideas, and nurture bold, innovative performers and experimental designers of the future.
