Studies in Contemporary Theatre
All performance, however old or new, occurs within an historical, social and cultural context. Students learn about the importance of these contexts and develop performance skills through exploring the differences in performance spaces, acting techniques, dramatic structures and theatrical conventions. Students learn that key elements of theatrical performance such as the presence of the actor, the use of space, the role of image and sound, the principles of structure and the role of story and narrative have different meanings and significance in different contexts. Learning will encompass a range of cultural perspectives through the material chosen to be studied. In studying Contemporary Theatre, students learn experientially. This occurs through practical workshops using improvisation and playbuilding and a variety of texts, scripts or extracts from scripts. In this work they will use dramatic and theatrical techniques appropriate to contemporary style. Through research, discussion and theatre visits, students learn about the ways in which contemporary theatrical traditions and performance styles inform all drama and theatre.

Elements of Production in Performance - Class Play
Performance uses the elements of production to communicate a scripted or unscripted drama to an audience. Students learn about rehearsal scheduling and processes including adapting to different performance spaces and venues when developing original or scripted material for performance. They learn about and use the technical terminology of the stage and theatre. Students learn about the roles of the director and the designer through practice, research and writing about their experiences. They learn how the elements of production such as set, properties, costume, sound and lighting can enhance their production when transferring from developmental stages to performance. They learn about the roles of stage management and crew, front-of-house organisation and publicity. Practical skills in these roles will be gained from taking on various responsibilities during class performances throughout the course, to develop practical skills which will be supplemented by observation, discussion, research, interviews, prepared talks and written assignments. As audience members, students learn to observe, comment on and write about directorial and design concepts, acting techniques and audience reactions. They will learn to apply their knowledge and experiences of theatrical styles and forms to analyse the social and cultural contexts of performances and the effectiveness of productions. Through reading, listening to, viewing and discussing critical reviews and analyses, students learn how to appraise, evaluate and review performances.
