Performing Arts and Technical Theatre

Whether you want to be a performer on stage and screen or behind the scenes designing lighting and soundscapes, Performing Arts and Technical Theatre courses at Conservatoire EAST, West Suffolk College is for you!

You could join one of our ex-students who are appearing in the West End, starring in a TV series or on the set of a blockbuster film. If you’re a technician, what about designing lighting in a professional theatre or working backstage at The Royal Opera House?

Whatever your ambition, Conservatoire EAST gives you the route to Higher Education for careers on stage, on screen, backstage and in production.

Our delivery model, put together with input of drama schools ensures that you gain technique in all areas you need to succeed as well as the opportunity to appear in at least THREE full-scale shows a year.

We believe that great performers can only be made on their feet rather than at a desk!

Year on year an average of 95 per cent of our students go on to Drama School or University.
