Detailed Information
This module offers students an introduction to theatre's role in culture and society, and to working roles in theatre and performance. Using examples of international practice, students will examine key roles in the collaborative creation of the theatrical event, and gain insight into current debates on the artistic, and cultural functions of live theatre and performance. In Small Group Teaching groups students will learn about selected aspects of live performance, principles of space and design, audience responses and dramaturgy. Students will visit a performance and write an analysis of what they have seen.
