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;
- work collaboratively showing initiative and openness.
