Alternatively, you may be an outstanding individual from another discipline, with an evident desire to explore interdisciplinary practice.

Student Profile

Rob Drummer, Graduated 2010, currently Associate Dramaturg at the Bush Theatre, London.

Coming to Central as a Director, the course has equipped me with all of the creative skills that have seen me through these first several years of my career, including how I engage with playwrights at the Bush as Associate Dramaturg. The course, in its collaborative ethos, with real focus on questioning stories and storytelling whilst building contemporary theatre, was a challenge and a foundation for my work.
