Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

One of the many appeals of the Drama and Theatre Studies course is that learning takes place through the shared experience of watching and analysing, creating and performing theatre. All students are encouraged to develop powers of critical thinking through discussing and writing about a wide range of plays. They learn how to analyse both a text and a live performance and to refine skills to offer an informed and justified opinion of a selected play. Students also learn how to present convincing and imaginative characterisations in performance; offering a range of vocal and physical expression with a high level of confidence, so that work is totally engaging for an audience. Theatre visits and workshops are an exciting and integral part of the course.
