I’m Pavel Drabek.
I'm the Professor of Drama and Theatre Practice
at the University of Hull, and I'm in the Drama department.
Now since 1963, we have been working
as a professional department, as an ensemble.
So when you come to join as a student,
you are joining a working theatre, a professional theatre,
and you are engaged in the whole process of theatre making,
no matter if you are working as an actor,
as a director, as a writer, playwright, or whether
you are in the scenographic department working as a set designer,
someone responsible for performance spaces, for costume, makeup,
lights, sound, digital art and projection...
We also do exploratory work in different performance formats.
Now, no matter how you would like to learn, no matter what you would like to learn
as part of it, you are joining a working ensemble,
a working theatre company in the Gulbenkian Centre,
which is - allegedly! - the most flexible
university theatre anywhere in Europe.
And we are working peer to peer with you, with students,
staff, graduates and industry professionals.
So come and join Drama at the University of Hull
and explore your theatre making talents no matter what they are.
