About this course

Practical course for entrepreneurial artists, blending theatre & film disciplines (such as directing, writing, editing and producing) with business skills. East 15 Acting School's BA Creative Producing (Theatre and Short Film) course is a full-time, industry-focused training aimed at entrepreneurial artists with an interest in creating, producing, administrating and promoting theatre and film. This three-year practical course draws together the broad disciplines of theatre and film (such as writing for performance, lighting & sound, theatre directing & directing for camera, screenwriting, film editing, location management, dramaturgy, and digital set design) with business-focused aspects of the creative arts and associated industries (including marketing, web-design, social media, fundraising, and arts management).

It prepares you for a career in the creative industries working as producers and facilitators, and develops transferable skills in communication, presentation, administration, leadership and critical analysis. From 2026-27, this course will be taught at our Colchester Campus . This campus is situated in 200 acres of parkland surrounded by beautiful countryside, with Colchester city centre just down the road.

We're currently undertaking work to create bespoke East 15 studio spaces and other specialist facilities at this campus. View more undergraduate courses from East 15 Acting School , including our Stage & Production Management behind-the-scenes training.
