Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

This course encourages creativity, focusing on practical work which reflects 21st-century theatre practice and developing skills that will support progression to further study of drama and a wide range of other subjects. Most students choose to study Drama because they enjoy acting, and lessons are as practical as possible. However, there is also an opportunity for students to explore other areas of theatre, such as design or directing. Students will explore the performance texts and work of various practitioners, and will learn to articulate how they would play certain roles, design certain scenes, and interpret a text for performance. Seeing live theatre is an essential part of the course, and our central London location gives us the perfect opportunity to see a wealth of stimulating productions. This not only helps inspire students but allows them to analyse and evaluate the work of both actors and designers.
