Drama undergraduate courses at uni involving technical theatre and acting?
I currently take Drama A Level, and study acting as well as a little bit of design, and I also am a student AV technician doing mostly lighting with a bit of other tech experience. I have been looking at drama degrees however, I am interested in technical theatre also. I have been able to find a few degrees for technical theatre, and many for drama and theatre, but I would like to be able to do both. I have found Birmingham which seems to offer oppurtunities for both, and I am wanting to find a options which incorporate both aspects. Does anyone have any advice into this?
Hi
I currently teach as a sessional lecturer Theatre Arts at FE/HE across both production (specialist) and performance (applied).
It depends what you would like to go into more; performance or production and whilst both skills are good you’ve got to weight them up against each other.
Some acting courses has modules where you can take production elements at a basic level but I haven’t seen any tech courses which are the other way round.
I went to LSBU for theatre technologies (2016-2019) a course which now doesn’t existand got to do work in performance for some modules with BA Drama andPerformance. Any courses that say Applied Theatre or Collaboration are always good as can mix the skills up!
Good luck!
I’d say your best bet
