Course Description
This course caters for emerging needs of the performance and related industries. Within the current landscape there is a need for training which builds skills to work across the diversity of art forms, encouraging students to think as an actor, writer, designer, director, manager and producer simultaneously. The course explores original, self-devised and collaborative approaches to researching, creating, producing and presenting contemporary arts practice. It focuses on all aspects of performance in a broader context rather than specialised training in the performance of theatre, dance or music. The course provides students with coherent knowledge of the performing arts underpinned by core performance and management skills necessary to gain professional employment as a contemporary arts practitioner. It combines theory and technical knowledge with the opportunity for students to focus on a particular discipline or area of practice in the third year.
