This subject is designed to provide three distinct modes of performance practice relevant to the student’s emerging professional career. Firstly, the student will participate in an intensive project development workshop that will lead to the creation of concept proposals and supporting materials for a performance they would like to be considered for the festival of new work in Semester 2. Secondly, the student will participate in an acting master class at the beginning of the semester on an area relevant to the year group’s needs. Following the master class, the student must continue to develop their skill in this area over the semester and present their progress at the end of semester in the form of a scene study. Thirdly, the student will participate in a New Writing Lab with postgraduate writing and directing students, leading to a staged reading of new work.
