Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

Features of Theatre Studies include: devising original theatre, directing, designing and acting scenes from classic and modern plays and attending theatre visits both locally and nationally. Evening (and sometimes weekend) visits are essential to the course and you must be prepared to take part in workshops with professional actors and designers. Many lessons take place in the Hockney Theatre and you have technical support from the Drama Technician. This course can be time-consuming with the theatre visits and rehearsals for the practical examinations but there is no doubt that the group at BGS tends to become obsessively committed to all aspects of the course. Drama and Theatre Studies is a subject which develops ‘to a high level’ many transferable skills: group work, technical expertise, problem-solving and creative collaboration.
