This subject introduces students to writing, directing, dramaturgy and performance making processes via scene work and contemporary rehearsal techniques. Working within an ensemble, Theatre students will explore historical, emerging, collaborative and mediated theatrical paradigms through practical exploration of extant text in a variety of studio contexts. Students begin development of their own making methodologies via a survey of intense staff led exercises and interpretive rehearsal processes.
Intended learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- Develop writing, directing and performance making methodologies
- Develop capacity to interpret, adapt and perform within an ensemble
- Develop aesthetic, technical and creative frameworks in a range of performance applications
