Course overview
Theatre and Performance Studies at Warwick takes pride in its national and international reputation for research and teaching excellence. As a student, you will be taught by world-leading scholars, industry professionals and artists who are as passionate about the power of theatre and performance as you are.
You will explore how drama, theatre and performance are used to share stories, to laugh, to feel, to understand more deeply, and to change things.
You will have the ability to curate your own distinctive degree, on a course that’s designed to empower you. The foundational first-year consists of four core modules which balance theory and practice. The second and third years are defined by optionality with the opportunity to select from a wide range of modules designed by our diverse team of specialist staff.
You will join a School that fosters a strong sense of community and will work with your peers to continually design, make, discuss and debate theatre and performance. Staff will see, understand and develop you as an individual, helping you to create a pathway through the course to achieve your ambitions.
Warwick Arts Centre
Beyond the course, you will be encouraged to see work and get involved at Warwick Arts CentreLink opens in a new window, one of the largest multi-artform venues in the UK, and join one of the many award-winning performance-based student societies.
We believe that it is the unique combination of our course, with the practical experience in the creation and production of work within student societies, and the professional environment that Warwick Arts Centre has to offer, which makes our graduates so successful.
Study abroad
As part of your degree you have the option to apply to do an intercalated year studying with one of our partner institutions overseas.
In 2021/22 these partners included University of Toronto in Canada; Monash University in Australia; and a number of Universities in Europe, including in Helsinki, Lisbon, Ljubljana, and Dublin. The locations that you can travel to are confirmed in November of the preceding academic year to when you would be travelling and these locations can change each year.
There will also be opportunities for you to apply to have short periods of study, work, research and/or volunteering overseas during vacation periods in order to gain international experience without adding a year to your studies.
The Student Mobility TeamLink opens in a new window offers support for these activities, and the Department’s dedicated Study Abroad Co-ordinator can provide more specific information and assistance.
Core modules
The first year of your Theatre and Performance Studies degree consists of four core modules: two that are practice-learning and two that are theory-centred. These modules will develop your understanding of the important relationship between theory and practice and will introduce key concepts for a diverse range of performance-making possibilities.
In your second year there’s one core module, and in your final-year you must choose from one of two optional core modules. You can select to do a traditional research project, which ends with the submission of a ten-thousand word written dissertation. Or, you can do a practice-based research project, which will culminate in the public presentation of a piece of practical work.
Beyond these core modules, you’re empowered to tailor your degree to suit you, by choosing from a range of available optional modules. This means that everyone’s experience of the course is unique. If you thrive in the studio, then you can select more practice-based modules, or if you have a future career path in mind, you can specialise by selecting the modules which best-fit your plans.
You’re also able to select optional modules outside of our department, meaning that you don’t have to give up on other areas of interest. In addition, we offer several joint-honours courses with Theatre Studies taught alongside English Literature or a modern language, and you can study Theatre and Performance alongside Global Sustainable Development.
Year One
Theatre and Performance in Context
This module considers what theatre and performance can tell us about our histories, cultures, societies and identities. You’ll watch, read and study a range of theatre and performance from across historical, cultural and geographical borders, in order to see how it not only reflects society, but also seeks to change and shape it. The module is split into four blocks, considering theatre and gender, race, sexuality and class. This module will help you to hone your academic writing, research and presentation skills, which will serve you throughout your degree.
Read more about the Theatre and Performance in Context moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2022/23 year of study).
From Text to Performance
Through practical exploration of a number of selected plays and texts, in this module you’ll investigate the process of taking material from page to stage or performance, and the relationship between theory and practice. You’ll have the opportunity to experiment practically with realising multiple texts in performance, considering aspects such as staging, genre, narrative structure, performance strategies, dramaturgical thinking and directorial conceptualization, as well as the changing role and function of the audience.
Read more about the From Text to Performance moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2022/23 year of study).
Ways of Seeing
This module has two primary aims. The first is to introduce and train you in some core skills necessary for undertaking undergraduate study in theatre and performance studies: critical, interpersonal, embodied. The second aim is to introduce you to the practice of critical analysis. Together we will explore how and why one might read cultural works and everyday life. In this sense we will ask how meaning is made, shared, and distributed. What do things mean? How do we know what they mean? And how do I know that you mean what I mean when we talk together about what something means? In short, we will reflect on acts of interpretation and what is at stake when we talk about art.
Read more about the Ways of Seeing moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2022/23 year of study).
Contemporary Performance Practices
In a series of tutor-led workshops, you’ll be introduced to an array of contemporary performance practices, such as site-specific performance, devising, clowning, performance art, physical theatre, improvisation, and various forms of multimedia performance. You’ll explore these through the study of a range of leading practitioners and theatre companies, which may include Spymonkey, Jacques Lecoq, Pina Bausch, Frantic Assembly, Mark Ravenhill, Akram Khan and Gob Squad. The module will conclude with presentations of your own devised work influenced by the various approaches investigated during the module.

Year Two
Ways of Doing
Ways of Doing aims to develop your critically creative thinking, writing, and practice, in dialogue with real-world issues. Throughout the module you’ll engage with different world issues and different types of performance, alongside the different methods which draw them together.
The module seeks to show you new ways of doing research and practice to help you think about the real-world applicability of your work. It will ask you how you want to intervene in the world. You’ll be invited to share your ideas, in response to the module material, and to experiment with them in guided workshops.
Ways of Doing will also prepare you for your third-year independent research project which will take the form of either a practice-based or a written dissertation. The assessments will challenge you as research-practitioners to think critically about how you want to work. What do you want to say? What forms and methods will help you do this? And, critically, why?
Read more about the Ways of Doing moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2022/23 year of study).
Year Three
In your final-year you must choose from one of two optional core modules:
Research Project
On this module you’ll carry out independent research into an area of theatre and performance studies that you love and will write an extended dissertation on your findings. Throughout the research and writing process you’ll be supported by structured class activities and regular one-to-one supervision meetings with a member of the academic team. To aid the development of your work, you’ll present your research at a conference alongside your peers during the course of the year.
Read more about the Research Project moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2022/23 year of study).
or
Practice-based Research Project
On this module you’ll develop a practical project that is shaped by your questions about the world. This project may take a range of forms, including (but not limited to) live theatre, participatory workshops, an installation, a video, a written play, a space or a costume design, and you can choose to work solo or in small groups. You’ll be supported through in-class workshops, supervision meetings, and work-in- progress showings. Your final work will be showcased in our state-of-the-art studios at the end of the year.

We have an excellent staff to student ratio, allowing staff to have a close investment in you, your work and your aspirations.
Throughout the degree class sizes will vary depending on the nature of the module and whether students are split into groups. Typically, you’ll be in groups of 10-24 in a class.
