Fourth Monkey launches MA Collaborative Theatre

Created to bring together performers, makers, and artists from a variety of creative disciplines and backgrounds, the MA Collaborative Theatre is designed to provide an opportunity to develop the skills required to build a sustainable career within the contemporary theatre sector, learning from renowned national and international theatre practitioners and companies in the process.

Fourth Monkey's Bristol-based Head of MA Collaborative Theatre, Paloma Oakenfold, said: "The MA Collaborative Theatre is about forming companies, initiating collaborations, and nurturing proactive, imaginative, entrepreneurial makers, capable of generating their own work boldly and authentically. This course encourages graduates to forge their own path, instigate their own opportunities, and take the reins of a fulfilling and empowering creative career that is true to them."

The MA Collaborative Theatre has full-time and part-time training pathways, uniquely constructed to empower postgraduate level students to engage intensively, yet also offers flexibility to those who may need to juggle existing professional or family commitments; everyone is able to mould a personalised training journey to suit their professional areas of interest, strengths and developmental needs, becoming artistic directors, and forming industry-ready theatre companies and bold creative theatre in the process.
