This subject continues to build a focus on contemporary performance creation from a theoretical, organisational and resourcing viewpoint.
Current performance practice is re-examined, including cross-cultural, interdisciplinary and contextual perspectives with student seminar presentations and visiting practitioners who discuss their philosophies and approach.
An understanding of the organisational aspects of performance creation is encouraged with a focus on pre-production planning, project financial management, areas of copyright, ethics and matters of legality as well as environmental health and safety considerations.
Locating resources for project development, the nature and scope of a relationship with a producing partner, the structure of governmental funding and the processes involved in preparation and evaluation of grant submissions is highlighted through seminars and guest speakers.
