Collaboration is at the heart of design for stage. Students will develop skills in creative and conceptual collaboration and explore methods for undertaking collaborative practice in order to develop a practical understanding of interdisciplinary collaboration.
In developing these skills, students will be working and interacting with others involved in the conceptualising of work for the stage, collaborating with other designers, directors, choreographers and key creatives to build teams and explore the essential connections between their practices.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- critically appraise the inherently collaborative nature of design for live performance;
- collaborate constructively and flexibly with a variety of team members in the process of conceiving a design for stage;
- clearly and effectively communicate creative concepts to collaborators, through visual, oral and written means;
- formulate and critically analyse ethical working methods in collaborative stage environments.
Generic skills
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- demonstrate well-developed problem-solving abilities in the discipline area, characterised by flexibility of approach;
- manage competing demands on time, including self-directed project work;
- exemplify the values arising from participation in projects requiring team-work.
