MA Collaborative Theatre Production & Design

This one-year Masters programme aims to bring together early-career theatre practitioners to develop new theatre and performance work. These practitioners include:

• Designers
• Sound Designers
• Lighting Designers
• Production Managers
• Stage Managers
• Video Designers

Students work together in creative teams on an exciting and varied array of theatre projects. The programme is not intended to deliver core technical skills, but rather to develop your theatre making abilities, exploring your potential as a creative artist and enabling you to work with other students on a series of collaborative projects.

Programme structure

The Masters programme is a long academic year (180 credits) with Principal Study for designers, production managers and other creative artists and practitioners. At the start of the year, you will be immersed in a four-week creative project that inducts new students into the Guildhall School environment. You will also be allocated a Principal Study mentor from a pool of professional practitioners with whom the Department has strong working relationships.

Final assessment

Final assessment will include a folio which will illustrate the individual’s contribution to the various projects they have engaged with over the year.
