The module allows students who have followed the relevant Theatre Crafts pathway in the previous two years to develop their skills within a senior role within the production team in their chosen specialised area of Stage Management, Stage Technologies or Design. The student will undertake a theatrical project demonstrating that they have acquired advanced skills in this specific area.
The module provides the student with a practical skills base which can be applied to live performance work as well as performance analysis. This module provides advanced skills enhancement at level H in a particular area of theatre/performance practice. The module also provides frameworks in which such skills can be applied within the specifics of the module and beyond and as such the methodology for the potential application of learnt skills is a substantial component of the module.
