Nebrija University was one of the first institutions in Spain to offer a specialized university bachelor's degree in Dramatic Art, designed to train, at the university level, performing arts professionals in their role as actors, scriptwriters and stage directors. Acquiring skills in areas such as Art Direction, set design, production and audiovisual direction.
This exclusive Bachelor's Degree in Performing Arts offers students unique learning opportunities, opening a coherent path for their incorporation, through scriptwriting and dramatic texts, into the professional world of stage creation in theatre, cinema, television and multimedia creation.
The Bachelor's Degree in Performing Arts at Nebrija University trains students in all the essential resources to successfully represent different passages or theatrical modalities, both gestural and textual, as well as interpretation in front of television or film cameras. We do not train intellectually passive actors and actresses, but rather, through a solid humanist education, we train them to be capable of reading the dramatic text in depth, understanding its aesthetic and ideological content, analyzing it and teaching it to collaborate creatively in its staging through a broad base of solid artistic and conceptual knowledge.
Thanks to a renewed and updated curriculum, the student can develop his talent, imagination and professional training through practical workshop exercises and audiovisual projects. All this in a multidisciplinary environment and in close relationship with the students of the Degree in Audiovisual Communication. Our young actors, scriptwriters, stage creators, stage directors, producers and filmmakers will work as a team developing fascinating Scenic Creation projects such as short films, feature films, videos, stage productions, performances and multimedia creations.
In addition, you have the possibility to combine the Bachelor's Degree in Performing Arts with the Bachelor's Degree in Audiovisual Communication, a double degree that is unique in Spain and that reinforces employability.
"In a setting dedicated to fostering research and nurturing individual talent, it brings me immense joy to impart my professional and teaching expertise to our students. Guiding them through their personal and artistic development, witnessing their triumphs over challenges, and empowering them to shape their own destinies alongside our esteemed team of artistic mentors is truly gratifying."
