Summary
What are the opportunities and challenges of making theatre in the C21st? How can an academic appreciation of drama assist in the creation of theatre? What skills can the theatre scholar bring to the industry?
The MA Theatre programme aims to provide perspective on contemporary performance, with a focus upon dramaturgy and the importance of bringing together critical-thinking and creative practice. This approach aims to enhance career prospects by preparing students for a variety of roles. Whether your interests lie in playwriting, making theatre for young audiences, theatre research, or theatre reviewing, the programme offers the opportunity to explore a range of approaches to engaging with the theatre arts. The programme is part of the School of Creative Arts, which is itself housed in the Lincoln Arts Centre, a dynamic creative hub for artists and theatre-makers, in the heart of the city.
Optionality is a key feature of the programme within the structure of the MA, as students can choose a bespoke pathway through the programme with optional modules in Semester B and Semester C. Within the modules themselves, students can engage with a particular mode of assessment that is most suited to their interests and planning for their future career.
