Schedules
The Masters-Pathways in Dramaturgy will work in close conjunction both with the specialisms in Creative Producing and in Directing, and you will be largely co-taught and work together for most part of the year. Dramaturgs will start the year working with Creative Producing-students (Week 1-8).
Simultaneously, from week 1, you will be attending a compulsory course DR893 Theatre Research: Theories, Methodologies and Practices.
If doing DR854, Dramaturgs should get involved and work with directors towards the Autumn Term Studio Showcase, as it is a great opportunity to do some work and explore Production Dramaturgy in practice.
