Symbolic function without body matlab

Is it possible to declare a symbolic function in terms of two other variables without specifying the function body in MATLAB?

I want to have a function $\theta(x,t)$ where $x,t$ are variables. Just declaring $theta$ as a variable makes it $0$ when I take the partial derivatives with respect to $x$ or $y$.
