Description

At the Centre for Theatre Studies students experience theatre-making under the guidance of a core of staff which includes freelance directors, actors and writers.

Students have the opportunity to explore and deepen their own theatre practice within a supportive and expert environment. Students are encouraged, through academic courses, (BA degrees and postgraduate study opportunities), to explore their work within a wider historical perspective, allowing for a dialogue to develop between the theoretical and the practical.

The interaction between practical work, intellectual study and theatre visits, creates a dynamic course encouraging students to fulfil their creative and critical potential.
