Critical Theory and Performance (Q3260)
15 credits, Level 5
Autumn teaching
On this module, you’ll explore theoretical frameworks that shape our understanding of culture, politics and society. You’ll engage with different key theories and apply them to performance case studies to reveal fresh, unexpected insights. You’ll question your assumptions, think beyond the expected, and forge new connections between theory and artistic practice.
Key skills you’ll gain include:
- critical writing and analysis
- collaborative presentation skills
- performance analysis skills
- applying complex theories in exciting and practical ways.
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
