Overview

The BA Theatre & Performance course is designed to inspire theatrical creativity and provide students with outlets to express it. Students will begin by studying theatre from a range of cultures and historical periods, then focus more intensively on theatre of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including the work of international and British playwrights and performance makers such as Samuel Beckett, Sarah Kane, Complicité, Caryl Churchill and Katie Mitchell. The course investigates a range of contemporary global practices from verbatim to immersive, from site-specific work to examples of digital technologies in live performance. Students will see performances ranging from west end theatre to the latest practitioners of 'intermedial' theatre and performance art. Throughout their degree, students will explore how directors, designers, writers and other theatre artists respond to and shape our rapidly changing world. Learn practical skills from the first year, with opportunities to create performances in the final two years. The first-year studies will introduce students to the histories and critical frameworks that inform each medium, and help them develop a range of academic and practical skills that will prove invaluable throughout the degree and beyond. The second year is students' chance to specialize in areas based on their personal or career interests. The final year presents students with the choice of diversifying their focus or further developing their knowledge in their chosen specialism.
