TEA201 Theater Project (Spring 2024)

After course completion the students must have achieved the following:

• Have deep knowledge of theatrical techniques across the disciplines (acting, design, dramaturgy, directing etc.)
• Be conversant in theatrical research and audience targeted projects
• Have learnt to apply their subject matter knowledge to solve artistic and didactic challenges independently.
• Have become able to plan, drive, and collaborate on theatre projects in line with current ethical guidelines.
• Be conversant in research, professional and artistic developments in theatre.
• Have developed the skill to plan, complete and critically analyse collaborative projects.
• Be able to reflect on their own work and have the ability to contextualise the project.

During this course students will complete a theatre project. The course will continue to develop the students’ skills in creative process, style and expression, strategies and theatre production. This comprises theoretical investigation and practical experimentation with skills and methods that must be utilised across the various production disciplines, over the course of a theatre project.

The course is rooted in practice work and in based upon the students’ own ability, knowledge, interests, and view of theatre and relation to the contemporary society.

There course provides opportunity to work with theatre, scenography, light and sound design, dramaturgy and direction through investigative and artistic reflection.

In parallel with the practical work, the course offers the opportunity to deepen understanding of artistic development and theories of the artistic process and relate these to current theatre productions. Practice and theory are the foundation for continuous reflection on artistic choices and the impact these choices have on the audience.

Course work will be predominantly group-based with individual Supervision & mentoring. Theatre is a collaborative artform, this means that each student must actively contribute to ensure group processes and projects are successful.

Some classes in select subject matters are mandatory. These will be highlighted on Canvas at the start of the semester. Expected workload is 27 hours per study point.
