Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Stage Design & Scenography and Contemporary Craft (CR10) (Creative Campus)

Stage Design & Scenography course students will be trained to design and make immersive worlds for different audiences. It’s about exploring drama and performance through the interactions between bodies, environments and creative technologies. How can light function as an actor? How can a set be built by sound alone? How can we subtly direct our audiences without them knowing? What are the ethical challenges of creating a performance solely for one person? As worldbuilders, they will learn about the different approaches to designing and creating there own immersive performance environments, supported by technical training that will prepare them for the creative sector. The BA Contemporary Craft Major is centered around the practice of designing and making combined with the exploration of materials, primarily in ceramic, metal and textile. In the material workshops we celebrate tactility, materiality and haptic technologies, seeking less conventional notions of craft through material exploration and project design. Creating and making gives us the confidence to take risks, the ability to solve problems and builds a sense of identity. Alongside developing individually focused work the course will seek to explore key research emerging within society, exploring challenging issues including climate change, mental health diversity.
