Drama, Theatre and Performance (Hons) University of Lincoln

Overview

Led by experts in theatre and performance research, professional performers, theatre makers, and industry specialists with national and international connections, this course will help prepare you for a choice of careers whether in drama/theatre, the wider arts and cultural industries, or beyond.

Students enrolled in Drama, Theatre and Performance (Hons) course from University of Lincoln can develop an understanding of theatre and performance by exploring it through a variety of current and global perspectives, including different cultures, histories, politics, and aesthetics. At the same time as studying the subject, you can learn and progressively employ a range of creative skills and performance practices, all the way from devising, dramaturgy, and ensemble work, to specialised acting technique both for stage and screen. Throughout the course you may encounter plays and other performance texts, thinking about their journey from page-to-stage from dramaturgical/directorial perspectives, and you may also experiment with more contemporary approaches to theatre making including embodied performance responses, visual expression, and post-dramatic practices. Whether you wish to study the discipline, create work of your own, or engage with acting skills and performance technique, you will have the opportunity to navigate your own journey through the programme, develop your own artistic practice, and choose to focus on what is of greatest interest to you.

As part of your studies, you may also choose to study abroad through one of our many international schemes, or take up a placement in a professional setting, working alongside a theatre company, arts organisation, school or other education setting.

Study Abroad 

The growing reputation of the Lincoln School of Creative Arts facilitates partnerships with other international institutions. We have established two exciting ‘study abroad’ affiliations with the University of Ottawa in Canada and at Drury University in Missouri, USA. These partnerships enable up to eight students per year to participate in an exchange programme, where they will study for a term at one of these partner institutions. These international exchange programmes can provide a fantastic opportunity for students to develop life skills, expand the breadth of their education, and enhance their employability upon graduation. Exchange students applying to study outside of Europe do not pay tuition fees at their host university, but continue to pay tuition fees at their home institution. Participants will usually be responsible for all other costs including travel, accommodation, general living expenses, visas, insurance, vaccinations, and administrative fees at the host institution.
