You will be offered a range of opportunities to develop the practical skills you need to execute an artistic production process using one or more of the core skills of writing, directing, acting, devising, applied drama or digital practice. You will work independently and with others in developing ideas, investigating issues and solving problems and will deploy the interpersonal and self-management skills necessary to organise working practice with a group of people to produce a theatre performance and/or an applied drama project. |
