Academy of Music and Theatre Arts

Our amazing facilities comprise 11 performance and rehearsal spaces, flexible theatre space, 650 square metres of sprung dance floors, live rooms, control rooms, and digital and analogue equipment. We’re also a working venue.

AMATA is a destination for international theatrical performances, dance groups and music acts - where you can take a realistic approach to becoming a professional performer, manager or technician. You’ll work with industry partners like Island Records, Yamaha, Kneehigh Theatre, Solid State Logic and RouteNote, and hear from visiting lecturers like Emma Rice and Island Records’ Darcus Beese. Alongside this real-world experience, you’ll collaborate with gaming, animation and film students, taking your work into digital and virtual environments.
