MA Theatre at University of Colorado Boulder

Programme overview

Our Master of Arts in Theatre & Performance Studies is committed to performance as research as integral to the study of the history, theory and practice of theatre and performance from around the world. We approach performance simultaneously as an object of study, a way of knowing and a methodological tool and are invested in the ways in which it can help us better understand—and challenge—the complicated legacies of our own academic disciplines and artistic practices. Our courses place dramatic texts, performance traditions and applied performance from throughout history in conversation with contemporary performance.
