The focus of this subject is on generative performance strategies for devising original performance. Areas covered will include the translation of an initial idea, source material or other impetus, through a process of exploration, imagination, creation and structuring, to arrive at performance material that is then witnessed, experienced and interpreted by the spectator. This subject will culminate in the creation of a short performance text.
