Q3106 Making Theatre course outline 2009-10

Course description

Course outline

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the processes by which theatre or performance may be created. Students will participate in and reflect on group-based approaches to making theatre, be they in the field of devising and/or text-based production. Games and exercises will encourage students to work together, creatively and productively with a view to generating material for performance. The course aims to develop ways of making theatre that stress interaction, teamwork and the value of focused workshop practice. The course will culminate in a group presentation in which short pieces that have either been devised or directed will be performed.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, a successful student should be able to:
1) Work in a group and construct a short piece of performance
2) Demonstrate an ability to engage with the analysis and evaluation of the processes by which live performance may be created
