THEPERF01 Theatre and performance

The theatre and performance major provides students with the tools to think critically and practically about the field.

The major addresses the making and analysis of theatre and performance. It is both practical and theoretical and reflects the premise that an understanding of performance processes and an active engagement with them is essential to the understanding of dramatic texts and theatre history. The study of the past, present and future of performance is grounded in both theoretical frameworks and reflective, participatory explorations of key themes and questions. Units cut across a wide range of approaches to theatre and performance and balance performance opportunities and academic rigour.

The development of critical thinking, creativity, collaborative practices and effective communication learnt in this major will give students valuable transferable skills that can be applied to a range of future professions.
