Arts ( Fine / Visual / Performing )

Performing arts (theatre and television) bring to mind the stage and performance as part of the daily learning in the course. However, for all the valid reasons, we can think of the feasibility of such a degree through distance mode as well. Distance mode has been established all over the world to keep the learning active and bring education to them who otherwise were away from that learning. IGNOU offers the following: Master of Performing Arts (Theatre Arts) (MPATA). Any graduate with a Diploma in acting/theatre arts or any graduate with 5-years of practical experience in theatre.

Master of performing arts in theatre arts AIMS to provide both practical and theoretical aspects of theatre to students. This course offers specialisation in direction, design and children's theatre to facilitate the students to take up a career related to these areas. This is to add to the above details that where there is no connection between the provider of the Master's degree and the students, the degree is a waste. IGNOU offers assignments and personal contact programme empowered courses and that may be a single reason to think of doing such a course via distance mode.

Performing arts (theatre and television) course must be leading you to a job in the related field. For example, I take the FTII or NSD course which works as an eligibility or competence certification to enter the field of theatre or commercial cinema or even television world. If the job/assignment/projects you are getting after the course are good and will certainly take you to the place where you aim to be (does not mean superstardom, but sensible, good work), do go ahead and join the work. If you still feel you have more to learn and specialise then freely go and study. Education in the domain of theater, performing arts will make you a scholar and you can enter teaching and education of the same then. Work experience in the field shall always be needed though. A career should not be delayed when you are good at obtaining a certificate.
