Theatre Department Courses

Go beyond the classroom and step inside a national theatre conference.

In this hands-on course, you will participate directly in the Canadian Association for Theatre Research (CATR) conference at the University of Victoria and online. Instead of only studying theatre history, you’ll experience how it’s made, supporting panels, attending workshops and performances, and meeting leading scholars and artists from across Canada.

Choose in-person participation (May 26–29), online participation (June 12–13), or a combination of both. Before the conference, you’ll join collaborative planning sessions and short lectures that prepare you to engage meaningfully in the event and its ideas.

You’ll build real professional skills in arts administration, research practice, and knowledge mobilization, while reflecting on your experiences through discussion and creative response.

Perfect for students interested in theatre, performance, research, festivals, or arts leadership — and a unique way to earn a Theatre History credit while networking in the field.
