mainly in the autumn and spring terms with contact hours generally
on Wednesday and Thursday evenings and all day Friday and during the
summer period both colleges offer optional sessions.
“A
STRONG ACADEMIC FOUNDATION WITH A SURE PROFESSIONAL FOCUS MAKES THIS
MA UNIQUE. IT’S PARTICULARLY USEFUL FOR THOSE WISHING TO EXPLORE
ASPECTS OF THEATRE OUTSIDE

SUE DUNDERDALE, COURSE LEADER
The
training covers:
• Study of texts in their cultural context • Practical classes
in performance skills and turning text into performance
• Lectures, seminars and workshops held at King’s College
• Scene-study workshops with professional directors and classes
with specialist skills tutors held at RADA
• Specialist seminars with other professionals in the theatre

Entry
Requirements
Qualification for entry is a good Honours degree, normally in the
Arts, but appropriate experience, for example in theatre, may be considered
as an alternative qualification. The course is expected to appeal
equally to
candidates with a knowledge of drama who wish to increase their theatrical
awareness and to candidates already involved in the theatre. Students
must be prepared to join in practical work as well as class discussions.
There are no age restrictions and the intake is normally enriched
by a wide spread of nationalities, backgrounds and levels of experience.
