This subject will explore the principles of performance making across a range of different cultures and theatrical traditions and in educational and community contexts. Students will examine how and why theatre is devised and how performance making affects, and is affected by, audiences. Working alongside a teaching artist, students will participate in the development of an ensemble performance for a designated audience and performance venue.
