This course will enable you to interpret plays from different periods and genres as well as applying performance and/or production skills through a scripted and devised practical examination. You will be expected to explore practical and theoretical aspects of drama and to make critical and evaluative judgements of live theatre. You will attend a number of theatre productions by professional theatre companies and will also benefit from a range of visiting workshops. You will enjoy and benefit from Drama and Theatre Studies if you: want to pursue your interests and develop skills in a range of practical drama elements including acting directing and theatre design; want to develop your critical awareness of theatre productions you have seen and your ability to analyse and realise text. Performance opportunities There are frequent opportunities to perform both in public and within the College such as at the Michaelhouse Christmas concert exam performance nights and the established Summer Showcase. Students can also audition for the 'The Company@Longroad' which is the college's extra-curricular performance group which rehearse twice weekly and perform a range of projects throughout the year. These have included flash-mobs musical mash-ups and more recently an original devised work combining physical theatre contemporary dance and shadow puppetry performed at 'The Junction' in Cambridge as part of the Fusion Festival. Special features You will make a number of theatre visits and see varied productions during the two years as well as participating in professional practical workshops. Theatre visits have included Woman in Black at Cambridge Arts Theatre Pride and Prejudice at Cambridge Corn Exchange Julius Caesar at The Globe Macbeth at The Junction. There have been visiting workshops by Splendid Productions (The Odyssey) Temper Theatre and Frantic Assembly. We have also seen behind the scenes at The Junction and The Arts Theatre and taken part in Industry Days.
