This subject builds on Semester 1 subjects (including Dramaturgy Text and Performance, and Cross Disciplinary Lab) to offer a practice-based exploration of performance dramaturgy in a devised, collaborative project.
The subject draws on students’ critical and theoretical understanding of dramaturgy to apply it
as a critical tool in devising live performance. The basis of this process is the translation of a central idea and theme, through research, design, documentation and practical investigation, into a studio-scale showing of a work-in-progress, and to reflect on both process and showing. The students will develop their ability to write a dramaturgical analysis of their own performance work and processes.
