Why study drama?
Increasingly, independent professional theatre is about making your own work.
A contemporary company needs to write, devise, direct, tech, and perform original theatre. Individuals may excel in one of these areas, but they also need a good working knowledge of everything else.
It’s all about sharing skills and working as a group to create exciting live performances.
