Performance courses - additional information (994.71 KB)

Run in collaboration with the School of Design, this course is for students who want to discover the richly varied practices that make up contemporary theatre and participate in their realisation through the design and production aspects of performance.

You'll develop a strong grasp of the most important areas of contemporary theatre making, such as scenography, stage management and technical skills. As well as learning effective use of the voice and body, texts, spaces and objects, you'll gain expertise in the use of lighting, video, sound and digital media. Looking closely at the design and construction of sets, environments, and spaces within which performance can occur, you'll also research and develop ideas for use in many different types of theatre, from large theatres to community settings and experimental projects in non-traditional spaces.

Through practical group sessions, seminars, individual tutorials and practitionerled workshops, you'll develop the essential practical skills and deep understanding that will fuel your potential for groundbreaking work with leading theatre companies.
