This subject introduces students to the production of live performances by observing professionals and by working on an internal production. It will be delivered via two modules: Professional Development and Production Practice.
Module One:
Students will be shown examples of production processes. The examples can be experienced either by visits to professional companies during a production cycle, or guest speakers, as well as internal seminars.
