Additional information
Do you have a passion for live performance and theatre practice? The BA Theatre and Performance at Birkbeck puts you at the heart of central London’s vibrant cultural scene. You will develop your knowledge through a range of practices and ideas studying theatre:
as live event
as dramatic text
in its historical contexts.
Your in-depth exploration of theatre histories and theories will inform the performances you create as an individual artist and in the context of a company. You will discover techniques and practices of storytelling, collaborative theatre-making, documentary, community-based theatre, adaptation, digital theatre and site-specific performance. For your final project, you can choose to write either a full-length dissertation or originate a performance work.
