Description	Engaging Performance 2 has a focus upon practices of performance and theatre. Its pedagogical approach, using a blended teaching approach, interlaces critical discussion and practical exercise-based workshop, in order to encourage students to explore the disciplinary connections between theoretical and practical approaches in Drama. In this manner, it seeks to disturb easy dichotomies of theory and practice and emphasize the many intersections between studio and seminar room. In Engaging Performance 2, students will build upon core performance concepts (such as body, space, and time), into an exploration of different specific performance practices. Indicative examples could be story (and writing for stage), audience (and devising immersive work), and site (and creating site-specific theatre).
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate an embodied understanding of specific performance practices studied on the module Respond imaginatively to set tasks and briefs through independent performance-making Deploy appropriate theatre and performance strategies in order to create small-scale, devised performance work Demonstrate an understanding of the connections between theory and practice in the discipline through their integration in performance
