A career in the performing arts, theatre or film industry

Do you have a burning desire to become a professional actor, learn to dance, be a successful playwright or screenwriter, become a director or technician in the film industry or the theatre? Or are you dreaming of a career in contemporary music?

It's a competitive world, and very hard to break into. That's where our performing and screen arts and our Contemporary Music programmes have an edge, acting as a model of the real-world industry so you can gain experience and contacts while you study.

Learn from the professionals

With 90 full and part-time staff, we are arguably the largest, busiest and most intensively one-on-one film school and performance department in New Zealand. Your study will be guided by professionals and inspired by visiting local and international actors, dancers, writers, directors and technicians. Some of our teachers are very well known and highly regarded in the industry, have good connections and can get you the exposure you need. Many of our graduates go on to successful careers in major local dance, theatre and film production companies.

Real-world experience

You will work in dance studios, theatre and film workshops with professional resources and facilities, just as you would in the real-world. Our acting, dance, directing and writing, screen arts and performance technology students develop and produce over 100 dance, stage and screen productions each year, collaborating with students from other Unitec programmes. Contemporary music students work together on band or ensemble performances, composing new music and learning about music production. Because all our programmes focus on this real-world experience, you are much more likely to get real work when you graduate.
