This subject examines collaborative dramaturgies through the rehearsal and collective authorship of a devised performance project. The subject draws on critical and theoretical understanding of dramaturgy to apply it as a tool in devising live performance.

Students will translate a given stimulus into a studio-scale work-in-progress performance through research, design, documentation and practical investigation. Reflection on practice is used to develop a dramaturgical analysis of collaborative working processes in a written assessment.

Intended learning outcomes

On completion of this subject, students should be able to:

  • devise and perform collaboratively authored material;
  • verbally articulate an approach to collaborative dramaturgy in rehearsal room practice and processes;
  • make appropriate dramaturgical decisions and implement changes within a creative process based on group discussions and feedback from staff;
  • produce the relevant documents and materials required by a collaborative devising project in a production process;
  • critically analyse the key characteristics of individual effectiveness in collaborative devising and comport them in practice appropriate to the working context;
  • evaluate the effectiveness of a collaborative dramaturgy and assess the impact of individual behaviour on group dynamics.

Generic skills

On completion of this subject students should be able to:

  • create and organise aesthetic material;
  • use a range of research tools and methodologies;
  • solve problems;
  • interpret and analyse;
  • develop the capacity for critical thinking;
