Theatre & Performance at University of Reading - UCAS

Course summary

Our BA Theatre & Performance course will equip you with the tools to express your creativity in performance and develop your understanding of theatre’s relationship with wider social, political, cultural and ecological contexts and practices. During your studies you’ll encounter a range of contemporary performance practices, including:

  • verbatim performance
  • immersive performance
  • adaptations
  • applied theatre
  • site-specific work
  • digital practices
  • live art
  • new writing.
The Department of Film, Theatre & Television’s long running Work in Progress project means you will have opportunities to work with a range of professional theatre-makers as they think through the development of their own performance work. Theatre trips, in both London and Reading, will also underpin your learning. Across your degree, you’ll explore how directors, designers, writers, technicians and other theatre-makers respond to and shape our rapidly changing world, and develop your ability to make politically engaged and creatively ambitious performance. This degree is based in the purpose-built, industry-standard Minghella Studios. Our studios are situated on the University of Reading’s green campus, a leader in sustainable practice across the higher education sector.
