The Fine Art and Theatre course at Lancaster offers a unique opportunity to explore and develop the diverse dialogues that exist between these two disciplines in ways that enhance and extend our understanding of both. You will develop a deeper understanding of fine art materials, techniques, and processes while exploring the historical, theoretical, and performative territories shared by fine art and theatre.
Why study Fine Art and Theatre at Lancaster?
How will I develop my skills in Fine Art at Lancaster? Fine Art at Lancaster is about finding your voice and deciding what matters to you in today’s art landscape. With engaging seminars in art history and theory, we’ll support you in shaping your values and understanding the evolving role of art. As you develop these ideas in your own studio practice, discover how contemporary art can be bold, critical, and meaningful.
You will broaden your understanding of contemporary Fine Art via hands-on projects, technical demonstrations and skills-based workshops. Experiment with painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, video, digital art, and their many hybrids. Our purpose-built studios include a digital art lab, installation spaces, and fully equipped workshops.
Gaining experience of working to a brief is important. Recent Fine Art graduates have secured commissions with digital arts organisations such as FACT Liverpool and Future Everything, and rewarding roles at galleries such as Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, Art Gene, and Home, and companies such as International Conservation Services, Science Museum National Collections Centre, Holocaust Centre North, ITV, United Colours of Benetton India, and The National Festival of Making.
What will I study in Theatre? Focussing on the emerging trends and innovations of 21st-century theatre and performance, we will teach you the building blocks of performance making, whilst supporting your ability to develop highly creative, challenging and impactful work.
You will collaborate with others to create original performance projects spanning multiple genres, from intermedial theatre to naturalism and applied theatre.
You might choose to focus on acting, playwriting, scenography or directing. You may see yourself behind the scenes, managing productions from start to finish or creating sound, video and lighting concepts.
What opportunities are there outside the course? Studying at Lancaster offers a lively, creative community. You will have opportunities to attend workshops with professional artists and theatre practitioners, exhibit your own art, participate in community-based theatre projects and go on various field trips.
As professional artists, your Fine Art tutors bring a wealth of experience in exhibiting, curating and writing across a range of art and ideas, including high profile residencies and commissions in museums, galleries and cultural industries worldwide. They have exhibited at the likes of the Henry Moore Institute, the Foreman Art Gallery Canada and Hong Kong Art Fair.
We also have strong industry connections to leading creative and cultural institutions, such as Arts Council national portfolio organisation, Lancaster Arts and The Dukes Theatre with their Creative Communities programme.
Study abroad The study abroad option is an exciting opportunity for anyone who is thinking of working abroad during their career or who simply wants the experience of living and studying overseas as part of their degree. You will study in your third year at one of our international partner universities.
