What the college says

Theatre studies teaches students to unpick the blueprint of a play text, as well as the necessary vocabulary to realise it in performance across a range of disciplines, both theoretical and artistic, as directors, performers and designers. They will make theatre themselves, rooting their ideas in practitioner theory and the rich history of dramaturgy. By the end of the course, students will be sophisticated theatrical practitioners, capable of directing, designing, acting and staging a play.
