Course content

During each three-week session, you will take on intensive module. These modules will be worth 20 UK credits. In addition to your in-class sessions, most modules will incorporate field trips, offering you the chance to explore areas of London relevant to your studies.

You will live and learn on our beautiful parkland campus and have access to all the University's support services as well as a dedicated study abroad team.

This course is designed to introduce you to the ways in which London shapes and is shaped by a range of theatre and performance. During the course we will attend a curated programme of performances of relevant shows and exhibitions, visit key venues, read and view a range of critical texts as well as plays and performances, and discuss together key ideas in theatre and performance analysis and spectatorship. The course will be divided around themes regarding relevant 20th and 21st century performance with a focus on contemporary work and its social and political contexts. You will be encouraged to hone your skills in speaking and writing about performances, ideas, and contexts - and to develop your unique critical voice. This course includes attending and discussing as a group theatre and performance trips which are curated according to what is on in London each year.
