On this course you will develop your performance and textual analysis skills. It looks at practical acting techniques in detail to make you a better, more confident performer and director and greatly increases your understanding of how theatre works. In the first year of the course we practically explore different styles of theatre and you will study the ideas and themes behind key dramatic texts and explore these through practical workshops, leading to your own presentations and performances. You will have the opportunity to develop both your analytical and research skills, as well as demonstrate and explore your practical ideas and ability. The course will help you develop your subject specific skills related to performance and the theatre, as well as various transferrable academic and personal skills. You will practically explore and study a number of plays from different periods and written in different styles. Performances will include a devised project and extended scene work. You will see and evaluate live theatre and there is an examination at the end of year 2 On this course you will have the opportunity to go on a number of trips. In the past we have seen productions in London at the National Theatre; Almeida; Old Vic, and we have had tours of Shakespeare's Globe and the National.
