Theatre and Film

About this course

Theatre and film are two of the most powerful storytelling arts of the modern era, sharing common ancestry but diverging in significant ways in their relationships with time, space, technology and audience. Theatre is immediate and live, dependent on the presence of performers and audience in the same place at the same moment. Film works through the camera lens, editing, sound design and projection, constructing its own temporality and manipulating the viewer's experience in ways unavailable to the stage. Studying both together reveals how each illuminates the other and how both have shaped and been shaped by the cultures in which they operate. At Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, this four-year full-time programme allows you to engage with performance and screen arts in one of the UK's most vibrant creative cities, with a strong tradition in both theatre and film.
