Programme Description
Each year,theDrama andTheatre Department admits a small group of students who display both practical creativity and academic capability. The select nature of year groups means that students quickly forge close working relationships with each other, and with tutors. Members of staff work actively in the professional world of theatre and performance, whether as directors, actors, performance artists, theatre in education animators, or dancers. Moreover, lecturers in the Department conduct academic research and publish widely. Students will be equipped with semi-practical, semi-theoretical degree courses in which the Department specialises. The Department of Drama & Theatre provides students with a thorough grounding in areas that are key to theatre and performance, notably the theory and practice of traditional and modern drama & theatre, children theatre, and dance. Students are able both to write and direct new plays, as well as to redefine traditional theatre. Drama & theatre students can also broaden their academic scope by taking options in subjects such as music, film studies, literature, and creative writing.
