Drama & Dance BA (Hons)

Studying Drama and Dance will teach you the skills to be a drama and dance practitioner in the 21st century. If you interested in performing at the intersection of drama and dance then York St John is the place for you. This exciting programme allows you to choose your own path through the degree by selecting specific modules tailored to your interests. You will be taught by respected and experienced practitioners and academics and go on professional placements to develop working relationships with drama and dance companies and organisations before you graduate.
This course offers you the chance to work between the disciplines of drama and dance and draw on the best of both worlds. You’ll have the chance to build a programme of study from across a variety of options in both drama and dance, giving you the firm foundations of understanding alongside the chance to specialise. You’ll be in the studio on a daily basis, developing your dance and drama skills creating choreography, devising theatre images, working with others and researching performance history and practice.

As the course progresses, you’ll develop more work that meets your unique interests. That may involve working independently, forming an ensemble or creating a piece of dance theatre that engages with a socially important issue and perhaps involve organisations outside the University. Your final year includes producing your own theatre company to perform and tour locally.
