Course Overview

Our Performance and Media degree invite you to explore the growing and diverse field of performance by questioning the relationship between live performance and a range of recorded media.

You’ll also examine the production of new ideas in digital, interactive and multi-media performance practices.

Course content is designed to develop your intellectual, practical and technical skills, so you can explore global traditions, concepts and approaches to performance and media. You’ll work alongside visiting companies, professional theatre, film, and television practitioners. There are also many extracurricular activities that will look impressive on your CV, including public productions, student films and a student radio station.

What you will study?

You will have the opportunity to study performance, direction and production through a range of creative mediums including, film, theatre, radio, animation and games. Performance modules will give you an awareness of contemporary performance practice on stage and screen. In production modules, you will study the range of technical skills needed to produce creative content through a range of media technologies including, camera, sound, editing, and radio.

In the first year, you’ll explore concepts, conventions, and perspectives within the expanding field of performance by analysing texts, viewing live performances and working practices, both individually and in groups. You’ll develop creative and technical skills so you can capture, record and edit your own work and performance for live and recorded media.

In years two and three, you’ll examine the presence of new, interactive and digital elements in traditional theatre and media-based forms, such as video projection and audio design, as well as exploring further the creative processes for performing live and for recorded media. To develop your interests even further, you can study related areas such as scriptwriting, applied drama, and a range of specialist modules that reflect staff research areas.

Teaching

Theory on the Performance and Media course is taught through lectures, seminars and screenings while practical work is studied in-studio workshops.

You will be assessed using practical work (including filmed and/or mixed-media performances), essays, reflective analysis and presentations which will give you a broad range of experiences and skills in a variety of media.
