Drama - BA (Hons)

Investigate the world of contemporary theatre and performance practice. Gain practical experience and theoretical understanding through workshops and seminars. You’ll explore many different modes of performance, including text-based and devised work, as well as live art and innovative practice.

This course will help you to develop into a confident, versatile and exciting practitioner. You’ll explore texts and practices from the 20th century onwards, through theoretical study and practical workshops.

Performance will be central to your learning. Most of our modules focus on 20th century and contemporary innovative performance practice. You’ll work on public productions as well as smaller scale practical projects, and have the opportunity to work with students from other disciplines, to develop collaborative and multi-disciplinary approaches to your creative work.

Your text-based and devised productions will be performed in a variety of venues on and off campus in Cambridge. You’ll also have chance to develop your technical and production skills, with full support and training from our specialist staff.
