Description
The module seeks to understand, respond to and build upon identifiable trends in contemporary performance practices and in the context of a tutor’s particular expertise. It will support students in making their own original artistic practice, supported by the tutor. There will be an emphasis on a praxical engagement with trends in emerging and contemporary professional practices in order to inform students’ development with artistic and conceptual vision. Initial sessions will focus on the creation of work through innovative development, fusion or critique of selected current practices in professional contemporary performance. Students will be able to select their own assessment groups, and there may be the potential for solo work depending on capacity. Students will all be ‘makers’ of the work but can opt, if they choose - and the Department is able to support - to be more specifically assessed as a performer/director/writer/designer (or any combination of) within an ensemble context, or as the solo artist of the work.
