This subject will cover practical devising which involves a range of projects, both within and outside of conventional theatre settings. In collaboration with a director, students will initiate and generate their content in ensemble to create an original work. The performance territory of the clown is used as a springboard for the students to create their comic pieces to be performed in applied theatre settings, such as schools and community organisations. Ongoing reflection as emerging theatre-makers will enable the students to evaluate their developing process methodologies as performers and devisors.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- apply practical studio techniques in various performance contexts;
- devise original work individually, and in groups, in collaboration with a director for public presentation in a festival setting;
- apply technical, generative, compositional and dramaturgical tools to devise work for presentation in an applied theatre setting;
- employ and sustain a professional working ethos in independent and collaborative work and in communication with staff, industry and peers.
