Course Overview

Drama at Newman offers students the opportunity to learn in a way that dissolves the traditional distinctions between ‘theory’ and ‘practice’. Students work on their feet, actively exploring and applying a range of dramatic ideas and approaches, then pausing at key moments to reflect upon what (and how) they are learning. All students have opportunities to take part in productions. Students can learn about and participate in a range of Applied drama approaches. Students can choose between a traditional written dissertation and a practical dissertation. Students receive specialist training from professionals with particular expertise.

Students can develop their critical thinking skills and deepen their knowledge and understanding of Drama as an art form exploring what it is to be human. Our performance facilities ensure students devise, rehearse and perform in an appropriate environment.
