What are the
Performing Arts?
The Performing Arts sector is made up of a wide range of job roles, which reflect all
aspects of putting on a performance, including but not limited to the following: Actor
(including TV, radio and theatre work), agent, arts administrator, box office manager,
choreographer, community artist, dancer, director, education manager, musician,
practitioner, producer, company manager.
Our graduates have appeared on the BBC, worked behind the scenes at Channel 4 and
ITV, graced West End stages and travelled the world with their careers in dance, theatre
and music.
Today, Performing Arts industries provide more than one in 20 jobs in the UK.
Research has evidenced that a higher frequency of engagement with Performing Arts is
generally associated with a higher level of wellbeing.
