Theatre Production (Stage and Arts Management) BA (Hons)
Theatre Production at Winchester offers
a broad-based and practically grounded
learning experience that covers the
fields of Stage Management (including
production and technical management)
and Arts Management (including frontof-house
management, arts marketing,
business planning and other aspects of
arts administration and management
and arts enterprise).
Programme content
Year 1 introduces students to the various
facets that make up the professional
performing arts as well as the specific
responsibilities of the arts manager and the
production manager. Year 2 provides greater
depth where students have the opportunity
to explore more specific elements
of production management and arts
management. This provides a foundation
for Year 3 which provides students with
the opportunity to implement focused
individual study, and undertake work with
performance companies and production
projects. In Years 2 and 3, students can
choose to specialise in Arts Management
or Stage Management or keep a balanced
approach by continuing to study both
aspects. There are also opportunities to
take Drama, Choreography and Dance or
Performing Arts classes and/or engage in a
work placement.
Facilities and excursions
There are two fully equipped, flexible
performance venues on campus and a
new performing arts building providing
rehearsal and production preparation
spaces. In addition, the programme
utilises other facilities including The
Vault (in the Student Union) as well as
off-campus venues such as the Theatre
Royal Winchester, the Tower Arts Centre,
Winchester, and the Point in nearby
Eastleigh. Staff and student productions
take place throughout the year, with
some touring the country. Professional
