Drama at Bath Spa University is an innovative course that provides you with an exciting introduction to the world of drama. The programme allows you to strategically develop practical skills knowledge and understanding through performance, research, reflection and analysis. You will gain knowledge of the subject by making theatre, performing, reflecting upon, and writing about performance in its many forms, whilst gaining a strong grounding in the ideas, traditions, and debates that inform contemporary drama practices. The programme will give you an opportunity to: - explore the place of drama in the contemporary world; - make your own work; - collaborate with local theatres, theatre companies, arts venues, and and cultural institutions in Bath, Bristol and beyond; - work with industry professionals, writers, actors, directors and theatre practitioners from the fields of experimental, educational, professional and community-based theatre and performance; - collaborate with other academic disciplines.

You can choose between modules such as performance and media, writing for performance, Shakespeare, acting and directing, and theatre for social change. We also offer you strands of study in ensemble performance-making, and performance analysis, and for those of you who wish to specialise in-depth in a particular area of study, we offer the option of two bespoke pathways which may include: Writing and Performance, and Musical Theatre. As you progress through your degree, BA Honours Drama thus gives you the choice between pursuing a specialist interest in depth or gaining a more broadly based grounding in the different forms of drama, theatre and performance. You will be taught through a mixture of practical workshops, rehearsals, seminars and lectures. In Years 1 and 2, your core modules will focus on a range of contemporary performance practices, while your optional modules will allow you to explore topics such as physical theatre, acting and directing, applied theatre, musical theatre and theatre production. In Year 3, you’ll apply your skills to making a variety of performance work and carry out self-directed research into areas of drama and performance that particularly interest you, while also selecting areas of study from a range of specialist modules that cover topics such as Modern American Drama; Devising for Performance; Experimental Drama; Writing for Performance; Media and Performance, and Staging Shakespeare.
