Performing Practices (Q3284)

30 credits, Level 5

Spring teaching

On this module, you’ll consider a range of approaches and tools for the embodied act of performing. Combining theoretical perspectives with intensive studio practice, you’ll explore the different lineages of theatre and performance and the ways they converge and contrast. Central to this module is the development of a reflective critical practice as a performer.

Key skills you’ll gain include:

• practical and workshop skills
• experimentation
• collaboration
• reflective practice.
