Theatre Studies at the University of Melbourne offers students an exciting interdisciplinary environment in which to develop their critical skills, creativity and deep appreciation of the arts. Students can study the whole history of theatre from classical Greek and Roman tragedy and comedy to the multi-media spectacles of the twenty-first century. Integrating theory and practice, subjects are offered across a broad spectrum of performance and include studies in Greek, European, Japanese and Australian theatre, feminist theatre, modern and contemporary theatre, postmodern and postcolonial theatre, theatrical space and light and technology and live art. In addition to subjects taught at the Parkville campus, students can take complementary studies in Germany, the UK, Japan and the United States. [more]
