Seeing and critiquing professional performance, reading plays from around the world and throughout the past 2000 years, honing your performance and play-making skills: these are all part of the UQ Drama major. You will learn how to examine, experience and create theatre, being challenged to think about what constitutes performance, not only on the stage, but on the page and in everyday life. You will develop an understanding of the theatrical and literary aspects of drama, from ancient Greek classics to medieval theatre to the most recent plays from Australia and around the world. You do not have to audition, but there are practical performance options throughout the program, and opportunities to study play writing, directing and dramaturgy at advanced level.
