The Performance major offers subjects leading to a
high level of achievement in performance, theatre-making, and
production.
Students accepted into Performance will undertake studies in:
Acting, Movement, Singing & Speech, Dramaturgy, history & theory, Text
interpretation, & Contemporary performance techniques.
Students specialising in production will undertake studies in:
lighting, sound, stage management, production management, producing and
professional practise, Dramaturgy, history & theory.
Classes addressing all aspects of performance and production aim to
provide students with the basic professional skills for entry into the
performance industries.
The course is primarily practice-based and offers many opportunities to
work with professional artists and on the creation of contemporary
theatre works, however, the course also emphasises theory and history as
essential to the development of informed and self reliant practitioners.
In first year, students acquire competencies in theatre-making with an
emphasis on collaboration and ensemble practice. Each semester
culminates in a performance.
In second and third year, students further develop their skills in
group-based performance across practical and theory classes with an
emphasis on contemporary practice. Students will also develop individual
acting skills in a range of productions on and off-campus, from
text-based, conventional theatre to the experimental and avant-garde.
Production students will acquire basic competencies in production and
stage management, audio and lighting design and will gain extensive
experience undertaking production roles in the School's programme of
performances. |
