These modules work together to offer a holistic perspective on theatre production. At the end of each trimester, you’ll have the choice to exit the programme or continue for a full MA. So what are you waiting for? Start your journey into the world of theatre here at Hull, where theory and practice come together to shape the theatre-makers of tomorrow.
Modules
Core Modules: Commissioned Project with Industry Partner Theories of Theatre-Making for Place, Space & Community Theatre Companies in Cultural Context Curated Programme for an Industry Partner Research Project (MA Theatre Making)
Assessment method
The MA Theatre Making integrates the theory and practice of theatre and performance on bespoke practical projects with and for external partners. The practical work on the programme is rooted in research (Practice-as-Research) and explores novel ways of embodied inquiry. The theoretical, practical, interdisciplinary and industry frameworks bring new insights and reinforce the collaborative and individual theatre making practice on the course. Modules are core for all students and offer flexibility within them, dependent on individual students‘ expertise and experience, and on the external partners‘ impulses. Regular CPD (Continuing Professional Development) and mentoring sessions with numerous local, national and international industry partners are embedded in the curriculum. The two modules in each trimester are interlinked in a tapered way. While all modules work on practical projects, one module approaches the competencies from the side of the public practice, and while the other complements them from the angle of academic study and critical theory. Each trimester ends with a summative point that formalises the conclusion of the phase and integrates the tapered approach. It allows the student an exit point at the end of each trimester.
