On this course you will engage creatively and critically with contemporary social, political and aesthetic issues through the lens of Theatre and Performance Studies. Our teaching enables you to engage with acknowledged experts and is based on rigorous engagement with historical developments, key innovators, and theoretical reflections. It’s also founded on a belief that theatre and performance occurs not just in traditional theatre buildings, but also in cities, on streets, in rituals and in daily life, and in spaces real, virtual and imagined. We promote a wide-ranging understanding of theatre and performance to enable you to make critical, interpretative and creative judgements about the work you encounter. You’ll enjoy great flexibility in your module choices, including practice-based, interdisciplinary and international perspectives. The Faculty's Careers Officer works with us to arrange bespoke and specialist careers events. We invite visiting practitioners to share advice concerning career development, and alumni to discuss their work and employment pathways after graduating from Warwick. Graduates of Theatre and Performance Studies have been extremely successful in finding employment in a range of sectors including the theatre, publishing, teaching, arts administration, social community work, media and creative industries. Graduates have gone on to work with organisations including the Royal Court Theatre, Hat Trick Productions, Cameron Mackintosh Ltd, Cheek by Jowl, the BBC, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Cardboard Citizens and the Royal Opera House. Many have also gone on to complete MAs and PhDs, or to specialise further at Drama Schools in the UK, Europe and USA. Graduate companies have performed at Edinburgh Festival and more widely.
