Description	This module aims to prepare students as artists, theatre and performance makers by opening up a space for experimentation and enquiry, and building their skills through attention to key principles of performance and theatre (for example: presence, focus, responsiveness/listening, full embodiment, psychophysical impulse). Through practical classes, students are introduced to a variety of specific skills and training approaches relevant to theatre and performance, and which foster playful approaches to creativity. Unburdened by the pressures of an end-product and inspired by the tradition of theatre laboratories or studios, students will encounter vocal, physical, and textual approaches, retaining a focus on process and exploration throughout. Throughout the module, students will learn how to structure and lead workshop sessions, and will have opportunities to run exercises themselves in preparation for their practical assessment.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of the significance of creative and playful exploration, as well as basic physical training, performance techniques, and approaches to textual work; Demonstrate knowledge of a creative process led by an ethos of openness, discovery and risk taking, using theatre and performance as a medium; Demonstrate an understanding of how to effectively organise and lead exploratory studio practice; Communicate and contextualise their findings throughout and beyond the module, clearly and effectively, both in writing and through practice.
