This capstone subject consists of a practice-based component and a classroom component. For the practice-based component, students will conceive and complete a real-life practice-based project. This will be either a creative practice project (e.g., art exhibition, photography portfolio, documentary, podcast, etc.) or a cultural management project (e.g., performance event, marketing portfolio, social media campaign) completed under the supervision of the subject coordinator during Project Labs held every fortnight, as well as in individual office hours upon request. For the classroom component of the subject, students will participate in the Industry Core, a series of seminars that examine current trends in the cultural and creative industries. As part of the classroom component, students will also conduct original research on an approved topic selected in consultation with the supervisor. The research project will be in the field of arts and cultural management as applied to a single art form or cross-art form projects such as festivals, multimedia projects or international exchange in the arts and will draw on theoretical study as a research framework.
