In this module students will devise and plan a performance project (national / international tour; a festival; a feature film) in the media of your choice.
As this is a theoretical project, students will not be required to realise the plan in practical terms, and as such provide the widest possible scope for their creative ambitions. Nonetheless, artistic concepts (script, design, wardrobe, etc.) and the practicalities of running the project (costing, venues, staging, casting and production schedules, etc.) need to be researched and presented in detail. This will require students to utilise the core skills and knowledge that were developed during the first and second year, use various forms of research, and demonstrate both oral and written expression of ideas.
1. To consolidate the students’ learning through a focus on a single project
2. To encourage the application of knowledge to specific criteria and circumstances
3. To develop students’ communication skills, written and oral
4. To increase employability prospects, by encouraging students to apply learning to a professional level project
5. To further develop planning, critical thinking and problem solving
Students will be able to demonstrate:
1. The understanding of the complex nature of the industry production process
2. The ability to plan a large-scale project
3. Ability to identify problems and devised appropriate solutions
4. Creative and Lateral thinking
5. Ability to communicate complex concepts and organizational planning
No additional information available.
This will be taught through lectures in the early stages of the year-long module. As the students move into Terms 2 and 3, the teaching will take place through tutorials and feedback on interim, written assignments.
This module does not appear to have a published bibliography for this year.
