This subject is the capstone for all students completing a major in German Studies, regardless of entry level. In this subject, students extend and apply their learning in German language and cultural studies to a real-world context: the staging of a student theatre production in German, for an internal and external audience. Students will engage with the history of German-language theatre and will gain in-depth knowledge of one play, including its historical context, performance history and generic features. Students will work with a high degree of independence in regard to the interpretation and staging of the play. They will use their skills in German language and literary interpretation to research the play, its context and content.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- Describe key aspects of German-language theatre in the modern era
- Analyse, interpret and contextualise a prescribed theatre text on the basis of scholarly research and close reading
- Communicate effectively in written and spoken German with internal and external stakeholders
- Apply their intercultural understanding of German, Australian and other cultures to the staging of a German play.
Generic skills
Students who successfully complete this subject should be able to:
- Conduct scholarly research to find and evaluate information from various sources, including the library and the internet
- Use their communication, collaborative, time management and planning skills to deliver a complex real-world project on time
- Communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders and collaborators
- Write for a target audience in an intercultural context
- Work collaboratively with other students to complete tasks by a deadline.
