Level Two offers different opportunities and different approaches. All students take the module Specialist Study, which in recent years has included topics such as 'Commedia dell'Arte', 'Contemporary Women Playwrights', 'Playing Shakespearean Tragedy', and, in African Theatre, 'Myth and the Dramatist' and 'Mask and Brecht'. This module ends with a Devised Performance. Level 2 also includes modules on Dramatic Genres and Styles, Actor and Text and Theatre Technology and Design. In the first of these students investigate questions of tradition and innovation in theatre and how values have changed over time.
Guidance is given in techniques of workshop leadership.
Actor and Text gives workshop experience of different approaches to acting and includes small scale performance. Theatre Technology and Design offers a chance to develop skills that can be applied to problems of production. Level 3 modules are concerned with The Theory and Practice of 20th Century Theatre. The many innovations and experiments which have characterised the progress of theatre during that time are viewed from a variety of perspectives or 'sets'. Major students also write a Dissertation on a 20th Century subject of their choice.
