Choosing to study Drama and Theatre Studies at Royal Holloway will put students at the centre of one of the largest and most influential Drama and Theatre departments in the world. Here, students will grapple with the big questions: about ourselves and our cultures, about how we make meaning and tell stories, and about ourselves in relation to other cultures, other times, and other forms of storytelling. Students will create performances, analyse texts, and bring a range of critical ideas to bear on both. On this course the text and the body, thinking and doing, work together. There's no barrier between theory and practice: theory helps students understand and make the most of practice, while practice sheds light on theory. By moving between the two, students will find their place as an informed theatre-maker, and by studying a variety of practices, by yourself and with others, students will get knowledge of the industry as a whole, and learn how their interests could fit into the bigger picture.
