Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

Using an extract from a performance text as a stimulus, you will devise an original piece of theatre. You will learn how to search for meaning within a text, and how you can enhance meaning through performance and design elements. You will practically explore another performance text in light of a theatre practitioner, and from the perspective of a theatre director developing an interpretation for a 21st-century audience. You will explore the evaluation of live theatre; experiencing the work of other theatre makers. You will rehearse and perform an extract, and a monologue/duologue, from two different performance texts.
