Summary
MA Applied Theatre focuses on using theatre practices to bring about positive social change both locally and globally. It is designed for socially conscious students interested in trying to make the world a better place through the art of theatre and performance. This bespoke degree includes community-based learning, coupled with research-led teaching, allowing you to learn ‘in the field’ with communities.
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW Explore current areas of debate within the field of applied theatre, including the nature of cross-disciplinary research. Practical research skills developed include library and digital research skills, the use of databases, and the structuring, managing, and presentation of a project. The programme enables you to develop workshop skills necessary of an applied performance practitioner, exploring areas such as: safeguarding, ethical considerations, funding bids, and documentation. Placements allow you to experience first-hand a professional working environment where you can advance your knowledge of the internal working practices of an applied theatre company, while developing as an individual. Under the supervision of our expert staff, you produce an independently managed applied theatre project underpinned by relevant research, analysis and critical reflection.
