Hello! How was your Christmas? I hope Santa brought you everything you wanted and that you stuffed your faces and had a great break! (In any order).<\/p>\n

In this blog post I thought it’d be a good idea to tell you about the sort of things I get up to in a typical week studying Writing, Directing and Performance here at York, since most of you will be coming for interviews in the Department! I\u2019ll also tell you a bit more about the course itself, and my experience of it so far.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Scenic Stage Theatre, TFTV!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have quite a few contact hours in a week, and factoring in the extra reading and rehearsals for practical assessments, I’m studying for over 20 hours a week, not to mention all the extracurricular stuff I do! My week is generally made up of practical workshops, seminars and lectures, all of which form the bulk of how you\u2019re taught. In between all of this, I fit in going to the library to make sure I\u2019ve read any additional reading that will inform upcoming sessions, and get on with any work I\u2019ve been set too.<\/p>\n

Unlike quite a few other courses, the WDP one here doesn\u2019t give you a lot of choice. It does exactly what it says on the tin, and in your second term of first year, you\u2019ll be learning all about acting, directing and scriptwriting, as well as dramaturgy. Once you\u2019ve learnt about these skills, you\u2019ll most likely have decided what you want to develop further throughout the rest of the degree in the various other modules. There isn\u2019t a \u2018menu\u2019 style choice of options; you only get to choose a couple of optional modules throughout, which I think is pretty handy, since it focuses your attention and develops your skills in a more specific way. There aren\u2019t any optional modules in first year, since it\u2019s mainly geared to teaching you the necessary skills you\u2019ll need throughout the rest of the degree.<\/p>\n

\"Part<\/a>
Part of the Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First year was definitely useful in that respect. Coming from A Levels to university study definitely felt like a bit of a jump, especially since it\u2019s more independent. It took me some time to get used to it, but once you\u2019re used to it then it feels great, and you\u2019ll realise just how rubbish school was compared to this bit of your education! And besides, you\u2019re not completely on your own; you have an academic supervisor who, where possible, is matched to your interests, and you meet them at least once a term to discuss your goals, aspirations and anything else you want to mention. If you\u2019re stuck with an idea for an essay or want advice on anything, you can just drop them an email and pop to their office for a chat at any point in the term.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Ron Cooke Hub, which has loads of study spaces!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Aside from actually studying, there\u2019s loads of stuff within the Department to get involved in, no matter what course you\u2019re on. The Department deliberately houses three different courses, that can intertwine with one another, for that very reason. There are always theatre productions to be getting involved in, with tons of roles up for grabs; so whether you want to act, direct or stage manage, design the lighting or try your hand at press and publicity, there’s something for everyone. In addition to this, there are always some Film and Television Production students who want actors and people to collaborate with on their assessed and extracurricular projects. The two societies in TFTV (Platform is the theatre one and Film Lab is the film\/TV one) are open to all three courses in the Department, so there is always something\u00a0for you to get involved in. Let\u2019s not forget the annual summer productions that the Department hosts! Directed by members of staff that work with you on a full scale production, they\u2019re some of the highest quality work that the Department produces. Last year\u2019s production was Demons<\/em>, which I briefly mentioned in my first blog here<\/a>, and it was incredibly fun. To get an idea of how it all worked, I\u2019ll let you have a read over it on the production\u2019s website: http:\/\/demonsyork.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Rehearsing<\/a>
Rehearsing for Demons!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There\u2019s also loads of other student societies to get involved in, and they can be a welcome break from all of the studying you get up to.<\/p>\n

I hope this post has given you a brief insight into what it\u2019s like to study in the Department of TFTV here at York. As always, if there\u2019s any questions or comments then feel free to pop one down below! In the next set of blogs, I\u2019ll be focusing on what it\u2019s like to generally live here in York, including the nightlife and city, so stay tuned and keep your eyes out for it!<\/p>\n
