COURSE OVERVIEW
This course leads to an award of an MA in Theatre Directing.
The four term MA concentrates on the practice of theatre direction with a strong underlying theoretical component.
The aim of this MA is to prepare the students for working in professional theatre and to encourage exceptional new talents to develop their own vision for the theatre of the future. There is a special emphasis on training the students to understand the acting process and to develop their own particular methods for working with actors in rehearsal.
The Programme
The course aims to develop the students understanding of both the creative and technical aspects of theatre production. It will also provide a basic foundation in the ‘business’ of theatre.
At the end of the third term the student will work with a cast of professional actors in a production for a public audience. This will give experience in managing the stages of development of a production, from the choice of script, to the final performances staged in one of RADA’s studio theatre spaces.
In the final part of the course students arrange their own professional attachment, supported by RADA and the course leader. This involves working with a theatre company or individual director and offers an invaluable insight into direction at a professional level.
