Liverpool John Moores University and the Everyman and Playhouse Theatres have announced the University will be the theatres’ principal partner for the next three years.
The deal strengthens existing ties between the two organisations, providing further opportunities for LJMU students to learn from industry experts and enjoy career development opportunities.
The partnership will bring benefits and opportunities to all students. Those studying drama, creative writing and other degrees linked to the performing arts will enjoy unprecedented access to knowledge and resources available within the theatres.
The University will also be encouraging more students to attend the range of internationally acclaimed theatre, and to get involved with cultural life in the city; though the partnership goes much deeper than offering discounted tickets to both venues.
Opportunities will include work placements, creative writing students will get valuable feedback from the theatres’ artistic department plus joint workshops.
Career development sessions on arts marketing, journalism and technical theatre will also mean students gain valuable, practical insights into the business beyond performances on stage.
