Course Description:
Coventry University is proud of its reputation for innovation and excellence in preparing students for the performing arts professions. Our theatre course offers a programme of rigorous and challenging modules designed to help you build a thorough understanding of all aspects of the theatre industry. The course has a strong practical bias - workshops and classes with experienced staff and visiting professional artists help students to construct their own approach to making and performing live theatre. As well as developing practical performance techniques, they will develop critical abilities to enrich and inform the work they devise or present.
This course is designed to help develop imagination, expand curiosity and encourage reflection, self-motivation and self-reliance. Students will need to be able to collaborate with others, whilst also being determined and resilient.
We will develop skills in acting, creating performance, promotion and administration enabling students to shape their own artistic and career trajectory as a professional performing artist. We help identify career goals and, throughout, engender the initiative, enterprise and resourcefulness necessary to thrive as a performing artist including an understanding of self-promotion, marketing, publicity, and other professional business skills. Graduates from the course have not only gained employment with existing companies, but also started their own groups and created their own work. Whilst the Theatre degree does not include discreet technical/design modules, students are encouraged to specialise within modules and acquire at least a working knowledge of relevant areas.
