About this programme
The Theatre and Performance Studies course builds your understanding and practical skills by exploring critical and historical frameworks alongside practical workshops, performance opportunities, and production-based tasks.There are opportunities to engage with professional theatre-makers and our museum-accredited archive, the Theatre Collection, to develop your range of critical and practical skills while diversifying your awareness of potential future careers.In your first year, you will learn how to analyse performance while developing practical skills in a range of performance practices, including staging play texts, developing workshops and engaging in production work for the theatre. In subsequent years, you will choose from a range of options that will deepen your analytical, critical, practical and historical expertise around your interests and aspirations. You will choose units concentrating on research, performance and practice-as-research.Your degree culminates in an independent study project. This could be a group or individual performance, or a dissertation. You will also have an opportunity to undertake professional development. We have strong links with the creative industries and partners such as Bristol Old Vic, MAYK, Travelling Light Theatre Company, ACTA and Brave Bold Drama. You may have the opportunity to undertake professional development with these partners.
