Despite I won't be going to the unversity of kent, I figured I'd make a post about the uni's I'm thinking of applying to for the sake of it.
[I'm really just thinking maybe Sarah will have opinions or recomendations - although I doubt it as it's for dramay stuff]

In order of want:

The Foundation and BA (Hons) Degree in Circus Arts at London Circus

what would physical theatre invovle exactly? sounds interesting

It can be mime, music, dance, or any kind of movement. It's the same as normal theatre but you use as little vocal communication as possible and it can be quite abstract.

But if I do it as an actual course, It'll include some acrobatics and things too :)

I've done a modual on it already so I know I like it :)

wow, its great you have an ides of what you want to do so soon! :)

You are right, I am not so up to date on what is a good place to do drama-circus stuff! Why won't you be going to the university of Kent? It sounds like the most suitable course?

Next to that, it depends really on whether you want a more general course involving drama, circus AND singing or just want to specialise in circus skills.

How many specialist circus skills degrees are there anyway? must be quite difficult to find them!

It is preferable i'd say if you can get a foundation course which leads onto a degree course in the same place. Less hassle for you.

The Kent one is based where I practice Circus now, which is my first choice but I'm not sure I'll get in... hence the other univercitys are options!

I want to do Circus mainly, but otherwise I don't mind including physical threatre (dance, masks, little vocal stuff though). Because I'm bored of vocal acting - probably due to the people in my class making acting boring, but still...

The only courses in the UK are the one in London, and a few in bristol. Bristols my least favourite option as it involves moving far away! But if the other courses fail me then I guess I'll have to.

All of them do BA's after foundation :)
