Master Theatre — Théâtre : écritures et représentations

At Université Paris Nanterre, tuition fees are 288 USD per year.

Théâtre : écritures et représentations is a track within the Master Theatre at Université Paris Nanterre, in Nanterre, France. Theatre studies as an academic field examines dramatic writing, performance practice, and the staging traditions that connect the two, combining historical and theoretical study of drama with attention to how texts are brought to the stage. A track focused on writing and representation typically looks at playwriting, dramaturgy, and the relationship between a written text and its performed realization, alongside broader questions in theatre history and performance theory. Students in this kind of program commonly study the history of dramatic forms, contemporary and classical playwrights, and methods of textual and performance analysis, often combining critical writing with practical engagement with staged work. Graduates of theatre studies programs pursue careers in dramaturgy, theatre criticism, cultural administration, arts education, playwriting, and production roles within theatre companies, as well as further research for those continuing into doctoral study. The program is a two-year master's degree, delivered in French. It starts in September, and the yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Université Paris Nanterre, located in Nanterre near Paris, hosts a theatre studies department within its arts and humanities faculty. As instruction is in French, prospective students should confirm current admission procedures and language requirements with the university, since reading dramatic texts, writing critical analysis, and discussing performance in French will be central to the two years of study.
