Want to bring your ideas to life for audiences? Maybe you’re a creative who wants to produce your own work or the work of others, or a theatre maker who wants to build your own company?
Creative producers are vital to the innovation and sustainability of the cultural industries. Our MA in Producing teaches you the core skills you need to get your work to market, helps you develop industry contacts, and expands your industry awareness.
This is a course for producers at all stages of their career. If you’re a new or early career producer, you’ll learn to enhance your creative vision, artistic judgement, and business skills. If you’re an established producer, you’ll reflect on, evaluate, and consolidate your own work.
Generally we look for a good honours degree or higher, in an area relating to performance, or equivalent professional experience

The course is geared towards giving you the skills you need to develop a freelance career as a Creative Producer.
You’ll also be able to diversify your work by developing skills in other areas. Through the course, you’ll gain transferable skills that are designed to equip you to work in a range of areas including:
Trimester one
You’ll begin by building the skills you need to be a producer, including those that are practical, creative and managerial.
You’ll explore the cultural industries, including how the business of live performance works in theory and in practice.
You’ll be given an overview of the economic and cultural landscape that a producer inhabits, allowing you to see where your skills and interests can be applied.
Trimester two
Trimester two gives you the collaborative model to explore your artistic ideas and begin planning for your own project or production.
You’ll examine how the producer leads and fits into a collaborative team, allowing you to reflect and explore your own professional identity and knowledge as a producer.
You’ll learn key skills that are essential and specific to building your business as an independent producer – your “producer’s toolkit”.
Trimester three
In the third trimester, everything you’ve learned on the MA so far comes together in your final project. This could be a research-phase of a new piece of work, a full-scale theatre production, a tour, or a festival. One of our alumni created Bath’s Garden Theatre Festival, which runs annually for a fortnight in the gardens of the Holburne Museum.
