Explore contemporary performance to develop your creativity, critical thinking and practical skills for a career in creative industries and beyond
Drama in the School of Arts and Humanities provides an exciting and challenging programme with an emphasis on contemporary performance practices. Our approach to teaching and learning integrates theories and practices of performance in order to extend our understanding of Drama as an art form in its social, political and cultural contexts.

Students are able to take advantage of our nationally-acknowledged teaching expertise and will have opportunities to extend their experience of contemporary performance practices through contact with part-time staff and key visiting lecturers. The Drama programmes benefit from extensive links with theatre practitioners and key Irish theatre companies, who use our spaces for performances and delivering practice-based workshops.
Drama allows students to learn in a rigorous and stimulating environment where they are encouraged to develop essential skills as thinking creative practitioners.

Stagetext is going to be 25 in 2025! We are looking to commission a UK based visual artist to create an artwork celebrating our 25th anniversary
Deadline for applications: 9am, Thursday 29th May 2025.
Stagetext is looking to commission a UK based visual artist to create a replicable and unique piece of artwork celebrating our 25th anniversary, marking a quarter of century of advocacy and support in opening up arts and culture to deaf, deafened and hard of hearing audiences.
The commissioned work should be an original piece made by the artist that conveys the value of having access to arts and culture such as theatre, that would otherwise be denied if it wasn’t for theatre captioning and live subtitles provided by Stagetext.
The work should focus on celebrating the uplifting experience of meaningful and rich
connection to culture through text based deaf access.
We are seeking a piece of work that can be readily wall mounted or hung and reproduced as prints, postcards, tote bags and t-shirts, with the original work to be sold at auction to raise funds and profile for our anniversary campaign. For this reason, we are not seeking electronic/digital or 3D/sculptural works.
The selected artist will receive a £2,000 commissioning fee (payable in three mutually agreed instalments) for which to create the original piece of art, plus access and travel expenses
