Module Aims
• Critically consider the application of drama/theatre/performance (in a broad sense of these concepts) in diverse contexts and for a variety of purposes.
• Explore a number of contexts of application and in-depth case studies to further extend the range of drama practices and approaches that students can draw on.
• Develop the practical skills of students, informed by a critical engagement with theory, in carrying out drama projects with different audiences/collaborators/stakeholders.
• Offer a structured opportunity for students to apply their drama skills to creative practical applications accompanied by critical reflection.
• Allow the students to explore through practice and critical reflection some creative contexts where they may be able to use their subject knowledge and transferable skills after completing the course.
Content Summary
The content of this module will focus on the ways that drama and performance finds expression in different contexts, and the ways it may be created or applied for different purposes. Three key themes that underpin the module are:
• Context: where is the work made and/or performed? This may be geographical but could also include broader political and social contexts.
• Audience: who is the work being created for (and with)? Who are the stakeholders?
• Purpose: What specific purpose or function does the work have? How is that negotiated during the process of making?
An indicative list of the themes that may be covered includes:
Performance and Human Rights
Drama and Theatre in Education
Applied Drama and Theatre
Performance and Site
Performance and Ecology
Museum Studies and Communicative Practices
Community Theatre
