Course Summary

Drama at Newman is a richly diverse programme with three main strands: • a performance element in which you will take part in productions, performed at professional venues such as the REP Theatre, Midlands Arts Centre and The Crescent Theatre • Applied Drama in Educational, Healthcare & Wellbeing contexts and environments. • a strand which traces the development of the art form and develops your critical thinking. Why study this course? • Drama at Newman offers students the opportunity to learn in a way which dissolves the traditional distinctions between ‘theory’ and ‘practice’. Students work on their feet, actively exploring and applying a range of dramatic ideas and approaches, then pausing at key moments to reflect upon what (and how) they are learning. • All students have opportunities to take part in productions • Students can learn about and participate in a range of Applied drama approaches. • Students receive specialist training from professionals with particular expertise. • Students can choose between a traditional written dissertation and a practical dissertation. • Students can develop their critical thinking skills and deepen their knowledge and understanding of Drama as an art form exploring what it is to be human. • Our performance facilities ensure students devise, rehearse and perform in an appropriate environment.
