In this course, you will have the opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding of how drama is developed and performed from the perspective of an actor, director, and designer. You will study three set texts through examination and practical exploration with the written exam composing 40% of the final grade. You will learn how to devise and create contemporary theatre, as an actor, director, or designer. You will study three theatre practitioners/companies and two texts that you perform for a practical exam. This is supported by a written report of the process. Three shows, one in year 1 and 2 in year 2 result in 60% of the final grade. You will experience both live theatre productions and pre-recorded theatre to inspire and enhance your creativity across your two years of study. During your two years of study, you will undertake a work placement. You will also hear from a variety of industry speakers, visit career fairs, and attend workshops, trips, and visits.
