Overview
This practical, performance-based unit develops students' abilities to explore various areas of theatre and performance production, providing intermediate level skills training in fields including dramaturgy, acting and technical knowledge (such as lighting, design, sound and stage management). All students will learn together further theories of performance and theatre. Students will also choose one strand from the categories of Acting, Production or Dramaturgy in which to specialise and have specific skills training. These skills will be incorporated in practical performance projects in which students from all strands will collaborate, demonstrating their furthered knowledge of their specialisation and the practical integration of the theories of theatre and performance.
