Course Description:
BA Theatre Design and Production
is now firmly established as a leading programme in the training of
designers, scenic artists, stage managers and technicians. Its
pyramid structure builds upon a broad foundation of production skills
in areas such as costume, stage management, scenic construction and
scenic art. The second year concentrates on the application of these
skills in a variety of design contexts before students specialise in
a particular discipline for an entirely production based final year.
The principle of developing graduates skilled in more than one area,
with a firm foundation in the methodology of theatre-making is
central to the teaching. Work placement modules in the final year
have increasingly lead to employment opportunities and graduates are
currently working in a range of theatres from small-scale touring to
large-scale opera companies.
Typical modules include: Visual
Communication & Scenography, Scenic Construction, Stage
Management, Pattern Drafting & Garment Construction, Scenic Art,
Technical Stage Management, Lighting and Sound, Scenic Design,
Costume Design, Lighting Design, Computer Aided Design, Touring
Theatre, Site-specific Theatre, Main-house Theatre, Individual
Project and Portfolio.
The College has a fully
equipped professional theatre - the Halliwell Theatre - and its
adjoining workshops, studios, wardrobe department, props department,
scenic construction and paint workshop. There appropriate lighting
and sound facilities for professional theatre training and numerous
productions and projects at the College and on tour. Placements are
available in the USA. Professional Directors and specialist theatre
professionals are regular contributors to the course and touring
theatre companies visit the College regularly. Theatre visits to
major UK theatres will enhance students' knowledge and experience.
