Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

This course gives you the opportunity to explore plays in both performance and a theoretical context. In the first year you will study practitioners in depth and you will prepare a devised piece in the style of a practitioner for internal examination, as well as documenting your process through a portfolio. You will also study extracts from key texts and perform monologues and a group performance. You will participate in workshops exploring techniques in order to develop your skills and theory. You will also sit a written exam based on your study of two texts and your interpretation of them. You will attend a live theatre performance and as part of the written exam evaluate using the theory you have learned throughout the course. A total of three components: Component 1: Devising Component 2: Text in Performance Component 3: Theatre Makers in Practice
