BA W441 Acting and Contemporary Theatre
In this module you will research, devise, write and stage a project based on a contemporary issue. You will learn to use theatre to express their ideas and emotional engagement with the chosen issue and further develop the skills of communicating with your audience.
By the end of the module you will have produced a piece of theatre that expresses and articulates your own original views and ideas. The style and form of the work produced will express your own individual creative inclination. Some of the work will have tested the boundaries of existing contemporary theatre practice
