This subject will equip students to adapt and reframe their skills and knowledge as theatre-makers and integrate these skills into new creative contexts. Students will continue practical classes in Voice and Movement, expanding their skills in working with text, devising practice and collaboration, dramaturgy and direction.

Students will apply their technical skills in performance to tasks in composition and build flexibility and adaptability as autonomous theatre-makers. In applying technical knowledge to generate creative tasks, students will extend their performance, devising, dramaturgical skills and collaborative practice, and deepen their aptitude in reflective practice.

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

  • develop and implement innovative and creative ideas;  
  • employ a wide range of idea creation techniques;
