Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

Practical exploration and performance work lies at the heart of the course. You will explore a range of contrasting plays and practitioners through practical workshops, as well as giving two assessed performances: one scripted and one devised. There is also the opportunity for you to work alongside our professional team of technicians, gaining practical experience of the technical and design elements of theatre, including set, costume, lighting and sound. You will also learn to write about theatre, analysing and evaluating plays you have studied and productions you have seen. Theatre trips and workshops with visiting industry professionals are organised by the college and are an integral part of the course.
