Overview
Whether your ambitions are on stage or backstage, drama at Worcester is all about the productions. You learn theory through practice – in a wide range of venues, including our own drama studio, Tramps nightclub, Worcester Arts Workshop, local and regional pubs, and gardens. You’ll also have a work placement with a theatre, school or production company.
As well as devising your own work and studying and staging existing plays, you’ll also cover the technical and practical side of the theatre experience. How to rig a light, for example. Furthermore, your wider study of the subject can prepare you for a wide range of careers, such as theatre in education, directing, writing or teaching.
