Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

Lessons are a healthy combination of practical learning supported by the necessary academic theory needed to understand the work being studied. Learning takes place through the following: participation in the creation, development and performance of a piece of theatre based on a reinterpretation of an extract from a text. The development of techniques and working methods of influential theatre practitioners and recognised theatre companies. The study and presentation of a variety of plays through participation in improvisation, devised work and class discussion. These methods increase understanding of the subject and provide more detail and substance to your work. You will learn all about drama and theatre, develop an understanding of the practices used in twenty first century theatre making. Participate as a theatre maker and as an audience member in live theatre and learn to analyse and evaluate your own work and the work of others.
