Course Leader, MA/MFA Creative Practice

Mountview trains students differently. One of the UK’s leading drama schools, we develop actors and practitioners who will become the future of the creative industries. Through innovative practice, new approaches to working and close relationships with industry, we cultivate graduates who are independent, generous and actively connected to the issues of the day.

The arts can enrich and change lives. We are passionate about dismantling barriers to the arts and engaging with communities in Peckham and beyond. Every year we share our space, expertise and resources, opening up access to the dramatic arts for all ages and abilities, while simultaneously learning from and collaborating with the vibrant cultural ecology on our doorstep.

Today’s students join a constellation of graduates making their mark on the profession. Actors Grace Hodgett Young (Sunset Boulevard), Ben Joyce (Back to the Future), Louisa Harland (Derry Girls), Artistic Director Rachel Bagshaw (Unicorn Theatre), Musical Director Sean Green (Get Up, Stand Up!), Olivier Award-winning actor Giles Terera (Hamilton) and actor Eddie Marsan are just a few of our notable alumni.

COURSE LEADER, MA/MFA CREATIVE PRACTICE

Mountview’s MA/MFA in Creative Practice is a development of the existing MA in Theatre Directing and MA in Creative Producing. The new course will start in September 2025, replacing these two individual courses with a single course comprising three pathways – Directing, Dramatic Writing and Producing – allowing us increased opportunities for collaboration and shared learning between students of these disciplines, and through this a more rounded and contemporary approach to training creative artists.

The Course Leader, MA/MFA Creative Practice, is a key member of Mountview’s academic team, responsible for the planning and delivery of the MA/MFA Creative Practice course. Reporting to the Head of Postgraduate Training and working closely with leaders of other MA courses, as well as BA Performance and Production Arts programmes, the post holder will ensure that students receive the highest possible levels of tuition, guidance and support, and that tuition is responsive to students’ individual development and the needs of the professional creative industries.

SALARY: Circa £40-41K per annum, depending on experience
