Description: The Duke University Department of Theater Studies, the Duke English Department, and the Duke Office of Study Abroad offer a six-week program of two courses at University College London, under the direction of John M. Clum, Professor and Chair of Theater Studies and Professor of English. Professor Clum will teach the program with a distinguished group of British theater practitioners and scholars. Students will take classes and live in a residence hall of University College London, in central London.

Highlights: The Duke in London Drama Program offers intensive study of drama in performance in the theater capital of the world. The program is based on the assumption that the only way to study drama properly is through seeing performances, not just reading scripts. It is designed to fit the needs of two types of students:

* Theater Studies majors who want a broad exposure to a variety of theatrical productions and want to study with some of the leading British theater practitioners.
* English, humanities and other majors who have an interest in theater and wish to study drama not through reading scripts but through seeing productions and taking class with the people involved in creating those productions.

Students in the program see and study over twenty productions over the six-week term. In addition to classes offering background on and discussion of the plays seen, students come to understand the writing, directing and acting process through their classes with the London faculty and through participation in scene work.
