Drama at Queen Mary asks you to critically evaluate a variety of theatre and performance practices, such as Renaissance drama, naturalism, or contemporary performance art. It also asks you to approach other cultural practices - such as political protest, tourism, and sport - as varieties of performance. Through analysing these practices, you will become a culturally informed critic of performance. During your degree, you will explore historical and contemporary performance practices through a combination of theory and practice. You will develop the skills to articulate and argue a position through writing, and you will also use your own performance practice as a way of exploring questions about the world we live in.
