Dmu Performing Arts

News from DMU Performing Arts staff and students

Performing Arts at DMU is a highly practical, distinctive course that immerses students in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary practice, preparing students to enter the 21st century Performing Arts industry.

Incorporating many contemporary arts disciplines, including acting, dance, voice, physical theatre, sound design and digital video, the course celebrates and interrogates the possibilities of live and digital arts in a range of performance contexts, from the traditional to the avant-garde. With a focus on making performance, students are supported to develop as individual, innovative artists, able to create, perform and manage themselves, and others, within the performing arts industry.

This programme is unique in offering international experiences across all three years of study, culminating in the opportunity to make and perform work internationally in the third year. There are many chances to showcase work and be involved in performances, both at DMU and with our professional partners, including Leicester’s Curve Theatre.
