Description

Under staff direction and supervision, students will work practically as members of a group and contribute creatively and imaginatively in designated roles to one or more aspects of workshopping, rehearsing, and creating a performance (or series of performances) derived from a given text or other material. Students will negotiate the role(s) for which they are responsible, taking into account the needs of the group, the text/material, and the project. Within this context, they will extend and develop appropriate physical, creative, research and intellectual skills. They will be expected to document and analyse both the process and the performance(s). Examples of starting points or areas of focus include: A medieval text, a contemporary Chinese playwright, live art, site-specific, verbatim theatre, adaptation of prose fiction, post-dramatic text, theatre in education, an installation or durational performance.
