Course Info
The programme capitalises on London’s outstanding theatre and performance resources and, particularly, Drama's links with a variety of theatre and other cultural organisations including Artangel, Barbican, Live Art Development Agency, National Theatre, People’s Palace Projects, Project Phakama, Shakespeare’s Globe, and more. It also draws on London's rich writing, publishing and media cultures. These links often bring artists, writers, administrators, managers and other professionals into the programme as guest speakers, workshop leaders and performers.
