Performing Arts Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Want to perform, create and make your mark? 

The BA (Hons) Performing Arts at Liverpool Hope University is a contemporary Performing Arts degree for the next generation of actors, dancers, performers and creative artists. 

This isn’t just a traditional theatre or conservatoire-style course. You’ll develop your skills across acting, dance, movement, physical theatre, voice, storytelling and devised performance, while discovering new ways to create and share performance on stage, screen, online and in digital spaces. 

From your first year, you’ll learn by doing. You’ll rehearse, perform, collaborate and create your own work, building confidence and developing your individual creative voice. 

You’ll also explore the future of performance through digital and immersive performance, screen acting, virtual production, motion capture, livestreaming and emerging creative technologies. You’ll discover how technology is changing the way audiences experience performance and how you can use it to create exciting new work. 

Performance can also have an impact beyond the stage. You’ll explore applied theatre, community arts, performance for education, wellbeing and social change, developing the skills to work with different communities and audiences. 

Throughout the course, you’ll be encouraged to think creatively, work inclusively and understand the responsibilities that come with telling stories and creating performance. 

In your final year, you’ll bring everything together through a major performance project, professional placement, advanced performance practice and creative entrepreneurship. 

You’ll graduate with practical experience, a professional showreel and a digital portfolio ready to take your next step in the performing arts and creative industries.
