In the Simon Fraser University Theatre Performance BFA track, students explore a broad range of genres and forms, including devised theatre, live art, and social practice. Their program deviates from traditional theatre training by experimenting with contemporary processes of performance, unconventional narrative styles, expanded dramaturgy, experimental forms, new media and creative research. They examine how the fundamentals of performance—time, space, body, text, movement—help us stage our burning political questions, enact necessary social interventions, and advance the broad aesthetic fields of contemporary art.
What You’ll Learn
- Live acts: a wide range of studio courses on live forms and genres.
- Body: studio courses on embodiment and movement.
- Social: forms of collaboration and participation; engaging social practice and activist artmarking.

- Digital/new media: from live to pre-recorded; extended reality to interactive installation.
- Creative Research: courses that train students in experimental methods of research, from expanded dramaturgy to practice-based research.
