Dance and Drama BA (Hons)

About

The BA Dance and Drama at Kingston is designed with a strong practical emphasis, and a focus on London's vibrant multicultural arts scene. It allows students to engage critically with a range of approaches to the performing body as it moves across the related fields of drama and dance. As well as becoming skilled practitioners, students develop an understanding of the ways drama and dance engage with and shape identity, bodies and culture in the global city.

Drama at Kingston is a dynamic, challenging and supportive community, located in its own designated building, the Reg Bailey, which contains one large, fully-equipped, flexible black box studio, one smaller studio and a number of rehearsal rooms. The Dance studios are located in the Town House designed by award-winning Grafton Architects. It features three large dance studios, each equipped to professional standards with fully sprung floors, mirrors and barres. Students on the BA Dance and Drama will benefit from the use of both facilities.
