Theatre facilities

On our Theatre courses and you’ll be exposed to purpose-built facilities which will enhance your learning experience and be the starting point for inspiration on or off our London campus.

Our state-of-the-art Antonin Artaud building is the home of Theatre at Brunel. In this dedicated space for theatre and creative arts students you’ll find a number of facilities to support your learning. From large performances spaces and ‘black box’ studios for group work and performance practice to quality lighting and sound equipment for productions, we’ve got it covered so you can simply focus on honing your skills.

As well as being the main hub for Theatre students you’ll also get to mix and mingle with other students across the university who share similar passions and performances, as many of our live performances and shows take place here. It also houses other creative arts subjects, you’ll find a recording studio, a live (sound-proof) music room, a radio studio, five editing suites and a multi-platform digital newsroom that you can use to support your studies.
