Theatre Studies

Theatre Studies at the SCA is an integrated theory-practice program with particular focus on theatre as a cultural practice. Units are offered across a spectrum of performance modalities and include studies in European, Greek, Japanese and Australian theatre, feminist theatre, contemporary theatre production, modern, postmodern and postcolonial theatre studies, and technology and performance art.
The program encourages the application of critical theories to theatre practice as well as to the performative elements in cultural and social life. Theatre Studies does not offer the vocational training of actors, directors or designers for the industry. Rather the program takes responsibility for the investigation of theatre as a historical, cultural and aesthetic form which has been a dynamic art form across cultures since the beginnings of recorded time.Advanced studies and research degrees are offered at Honours, Masters and Doctorate level.
