Course Description:
This new programme focuses on 20th and 21st Century experimental theatre practices. The academic study of modern and postmodern performance is combined with practical exploration and skills development, including vocal and physical skills, improvisation and devising and technical skills in multi-media performance. Second and third year modules include Physical Theatre, Introduction to Live Art, Multi-media Performance, Avant-Garde Theatre, Theatre Directing and Site Specific Performance, as well as self-initiated performance projects.
The course provides broad experience of practical work in devised performance and text-based theatre forms, with an emphasis on non-naturalist theatre. Students develop a wide understanding of the work of contemporary practitioners, taught by staff who are involved in academic research and professional practice. Students are also involved in performance projects, directed by professional companies and practitioners, which explore the forms, new media, critical ideas and cultural debates that shape contemporary theatre and performance.
