Theatre Royal Bath
We’ve been Theatre Royal Bath’s official higher education partner since 2014.
'Our long-standing relationship and natural affinity in theatre and performance means that together we can nurture innovative creativity in the performers, directors, writers and artists of the future.'
Professor Christina SladeVice-Chancellor, Bath Spa University
Our partnership with Theatre Royal Bath gives students the opportunity to:
- Audition and perform in professional productions
- Apply for exclusive technical theatre work placements
- Benefit from new teaching and learning opportunities.
Our MA in Theatre for Young Audiences course is a key element of our partnership. Students benefit from development training days at Theatre Royal Bath as well as the opportunity to work in a professional theatre environment at the egg.
Exposing children to the arts is an important part of their cultural development and our MA allows students the ability to develop new theatre productions that are tailor made for a large and important audience.
Training opportunities
Our students have participated in a range of training events hosted by the theatre.
These have included an employability workshop, pyrotechnics masterclass, a masterclass with Director Danny Moar, arts management workshop and devising workshops.
