The Department of Drama & Theatre Studies is pleased to introduce a new Higher Diploma in Arts (Theatre and Performative Practices) in the academic year 2017/18.
The Higher Diploma in Arts (Theatre & Performative Practices) is a conversion course to Theatre-related studies for students with degrees in subjects other than Theatre or with Theatre as a minor subject. Completion of the Higher Diploma in Theatre & Performative Practices effectively converts your degree to the equivalent of an honours degree with Theatre as the main subject.
It is designed for non-theatre graduates who wish to upskill, gain an additional qualification in the area of Theatre & Performative Practices which will pave the way to further study at MA or PhD level.
Practice-as-research at the intersection between embodied practice and theory.

The Musicality of Beckett's Plays on the Page and in Performance
Wednesday 25th January: Dr. Danijela Kulezic-Wilson
In her presentation Dr. Kulezic-Wilson will explore how Beckett’s infatuation with music led him to reach beyond the denotative purpose of language and imagine his theatre plays as musical compositions. She will be discussing how Beckett’s lifelong striving to achieve the perceptual immediacy of music through words was the primary force behind his reinvention of language and the creation of several landmark works in modern theatre.
On every hour there will be a 30' video follow by a 10' art/sound installation. Also during the entire duration of the event there will be an exhibition of images/videos and a solo durational dance performance (6 hours) where audience are free to stay as long as they wish.

“Stella had been very happy for a short time, but she was incapable of learning the rules of the game. And I did exactly what I should not have done, in other words, nothing. I made every effort to see and hear nothing. It wasn’t worth the bother to me, but it should have been worth the bother. Why did nothing warn me on that September evening when Stella came to us?”
