Drama with Dance BA at Royal Holloway, University of London

In studying Drama with Dance you will combine critical and creative practice, giving you the skills to master physical performance, across both drama and dance. On this course the text and the body, thinking and doing, work together. There's no barrier between theory and practice: theory helps you understand and make the most of practice, while practice sheds light on theory.
