Hagley Theatre School is a self-contained, independent training and theatre creation programme attached to Te Puna Wai o Waipapa – Hagley College. It is located at the newly constructed Auripo building, a brand-new performing arts facility at the heart of Ōtautahi Christchurch on the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. The Hagley Theatre School’s purpose is to provide a space for immersive, concentrated, embodied, investigative, creative and transformative theatre training. Our goal is to support and nurture the students’ pathway into the study of the foundations of the art of acting and the development of new works of theatre. The school offers two courses: The One-Year Acting Training Course and The Six-Month Theatre Creation Course.
