I welcome you to the webpage of the Department of Performing Arts and Film Studies. This is one of the pioneering departments in the Kwara State University (KWASU). From the outset, it has been an effective and efficient training ground for aspiring youth with creative vision, people whose expectation is to break boundaries in the creative world of drama, dance, music, and film, both in scholarship and professional practice. Since 2013, we have steadily produced graduates who are presently doing remarkably well in their fields of endeavour. It is our aspiration to be the best theatre and film school in Nigeria, and we are doing everything possible to make this a reality.

Since our inception, we have been a dependable culture producer whose arts are creditably marketable, nationally and internationally. Our Arts Theatre, which is under construction, is envisioned to be the largest and most intricately designed theatre edifice in West Africa, with state-of-the-art film and theatre studios, when completed. We have a team of lecturers with a passion for moulding young minds into mature dramatists and filmmakers. We are also working hard to expand the horizon of our academic programmes to provide wider opportunities for lovers of arts, both in terms of training and patronage, and this will come to fruition very soon.

As you navigate our webpage, I have no doubt that you will find useful information and fascinating sights that will endear us to you. Once again, you are welcome.
