Overview

Performing Arts Studies is a programme for students who wish to pursue learning across a range of performance-based disciplines such as dance, drama, design, media and music. The programme is designed to develop an understanding of the theory and practice of interdisciplinary performance activities in a variety of social and cultural contexts. It offers the intellectual challenge of creating and contextualising performance events.

As an interdisciplinary programme, the Performing Arts major links papers offered by participating departments and programmes across several Divisions, including Dance, Design Studies, Film and Media Studies, Music, Te Tumu - School of Māori, Pacific and Indigenous Studies, and Theatre Studies.
