Overview

On our Acting and Theatre Making MA degree course, you will explore your practice both as an actor/creator and theatre practitioner.

You will investigate and develop your skills and knowledge of theatre languages, including text, music, space, or physicality. You will observe creative processes, acting, and embodiment from varying viewpoints, including:

  • creation of original work using a variety of theatre languages
  • adaptation of existing material with dramatic potential
  • differing approaches to characterisation within broader socio-political, cultural, and geographical contexts.? ?

Whilst developing your theatre practice skills, you will also investigate the planning involved in studio practice, including the facilitation of workshops and leading rehearsals, and carry these through to curating and creating performance events.

The aim is for you to become an independent theatre practitioner that can build or expand a career in theatre through creating and producing your work, but also applying your skills to interrelated activities such as theatre research, curating events, or facilitating workshops.
