Drama in London
London is unparalleled in the breadth and quality of its theater. There is simply no substitute for studying drama by witnessing great performances and productions, and DRA 350 and 351 get rave reviews from non-drama majors each semester.
Attendance at dramatic performances also figures in the program for drama majors, but there is an added emphasis on developing and honing acting skills. Collaboration with the Globe Theatre has resulted in a series of specially designed workshops conducted by Globe Theatre practitioners at the Globe. Such workshops might include working with Master of Movement practitioners, introducing and exploring another approach to voice, and working deeper into the text of specific plays using Globe techniques.
