Innovative vision that goes beyond the traditional limits of Performing Arts

Nebrija University was one of the first institutions in Spain to offer a specialized university bachelor's degree in Dramatic Art, designed to train, at the university level, performing arts professionals in their role as actors, scriptwriters and stage directors. Acquiring skills in areas such as Art Direction, set design, production and audiovisual direction.

This exclusive Bachelor's Degree in Performing Arts offers students unique learning opportunities, opening a coherent path for their incorporation, through scriptwriting and dramatic texts, into the professional world of stage creation in theatre, cinema, television and multimedia creation.

The Bachelor's Degree in Performing Arts at Nebrija University trains students in all the essential resources to successfully represent different passages or theatrical modalities, both gestural and textual, as well as interpretation in front of television or film cameras. We do not train intellectually passive actors and actresses, but rather, through a solid humanist education, we train them to be capable of reading the dramatic text in depth, understanding its aesthetic and ideological content, analyzing it and teaching it to collaborate creatively in its staging through a broad base of solid artistic and conceptual knowledge.

Thanks to a renewed and updated curriculum, the student can develop his talent, imagination and professional training through practical workshop exercises and audiovisual projects. All this in a multidisciplinary environment and in close relationship with the students of the Degree in Audiovisual Communication. Our young actors, scriptwriters, stage creators, stage directors, producers and filmmakers will work as a team developing fascinating Scenic Creation projects such as short films, feature films, videos, stage productions, performances and multimedia creations.


In addition, you have the possibility to combine the Bachelor's Degree in Performing Arts with the Bachelor's Degree in Audiovisual Communication, a double degree that is unique in Spain and that reinforces employability.

"In a setting dedicated to fostering research and nurturing individual talent, it brings me immense joy to impart my professional and teaching expertise to our students. Guiding them through their personal and artistic development, witnessing their triumphs over challenges, and empowering them to shape their own destinies alongside our esteemed team of artistic mentors is truly gratifying."

Nebrija Escena 2024. La Dama Boba

Nebrija Escena presented a double bill to close the curtain on its academic year. The most senior students performed La dama boba, by Lope de Vega, in front of two hundred spectators, and they will perform (Des)de los escombros, by María Prado. Both performances, at the Teatro Fígaro, promote the craft and dreams of the fourth-year students of the Degree in Performing Arts.

Nebrija Escena 2024: (Des)de los escombros

The directors, Nerea Lovecchio and Luna Paredes, present a compelling proposal. With ten actresses and an actor who remain on stage throughout, they play with lighting, the audience's imagination, and the physical space of the stalls. Set in a minimalist space, the performance includes a variety of scenes: a dialogue between a grandmother and her granddaughter, a tense job interview at a dairy company, a television contest, a woman's impassioned plea to "spit on the future", and a mother soothing her baby, among others. However, it is the collective scenes that truly captivate, drawing a parallel between the tension of the performance and the tension in our lives. These scenes provoke thought and stir the conscience, highlighting the bleak employment prospects awaiting the youth.

Nebrija Escena 2023: Ruido (Noise)

Based on William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, Noise is a project of Nebrija University's Art Department that aims to promote artistic practices through the production of stage works in different formats, styles, and aesthetics.
