Drama, Theatre and Performance

About this course

Drama, theatre, and performance constitute a field of study that engages with one of the oldest and most fundamental human activities: the making and experiencing of live performance. Theatre is at once an art form, a social practice, a cultural institution, and a mode of inquiry into human experience. Studying drama, theatre, and performance at degree level means developing both the practical skills to create and perform work and the critical and theoretical frameworks to analyse and contextualise what performance is and does. It is a discipline that demands imagination, physical awareness, intellectual rigour, and the ability to collaborate. At the University of Sussex, this three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, giving students the opportunity to build the creative confidence and academic skills needed for degree-level study before moving onto the full programme.
