Dramaturgy and Drama Studies - Major (Arts)

Dramaturgy and Drama Studies (DDS) integrates creative and scholarly approaches to theatre through a common emphasis on dramaturgy. In addition to specific courses in developmental and production dramaturgy, the DDS program includes courses that examine theatre history, dramatic literature, critical theory, playwriting, devising, and intermedial performance, among others. DDS provides students with first-rate academic experience and credentials, while offering them ample opportunities for creative application of acquired knowledge and skills through practical components and practice-based research projects. All courses are taken at U of T Mississauga (UTM). Any courses taken outside of UTM should be pre-approved for credit by the Director of Drama Studies and the Undergraduate Advisor on a course-by-course basis.
