                    Traveling To London, England

                    Estimated Price: $1,650

We’ll travel to the world’s greatest theatre city, London, where we’ll seek every opportunity to study theatre activities, performances and productions, both onstage and backstage. From the Fringe to Covent Garden to current productions at the Royal National Theatre and the West End theatre district, every theatre performance space and production will be our classroom. To expand our insights, knowledge and repertoire, Concordia actors, singers, dancers, directors, managers, designers and administrators will attend current productions, visit with British educators and students, and discuss living and working in the theatre industry with performers, designers, managers, or directors currently living in London.  We’ll also arrange a few backstage theatre visits in London and take a day trip to Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare’s birthplace and home to the Royal Shakespeare Company.  By exploring the underlying principles of theatre production and performance and applying them to European and American production styles, we’ll gain a unique worldview to many potential career paths in the performing arts. Riding the Tube or the double-decker buses, we’ll also explore places of historical significance in London, including the Tower of London and Harrods department store.
