BA (Hons) Drama

... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

Live performance is central to our ethos. We’ll encourage you to develop your artistic skills and vision in the theatres and studios of our Arts Centre. Join workshops with professional directors and companies. Try new techniques for acting, improvisation, rehearsal, and performance as you collaborate on stage. Explore the process of making socially-engaged theatre and performance both with and for specific audiences and communities.

Interrogate plays across time and culture to answer questions on the origins, development, and value of drama. You’ll examine the work of key ensembles in traditional and contemporary theatre, before creating dynamic group productions. And you’ll also have opportunities to push yourself further with our staff- and student-led drama groups.

We want you to feel supported during your drama degree. Our team of experienced actors, playwrights, directors, and theatre technicians will work with you as you grow. Together, we’ll connect theory to practice so you graduate as a practitioner with a deep understanding of your profession and real experience of live performance.
