Content Summary

This staff led module offers students the opportunity to develop their previous experience of devising theatre, audio and video practices. Students will collaborate with their peers to form small companies, each of which will propose and produce a creative project. Taught in a workshop setting, the module will allow students to develop their work independently, closely supervised by staff and invited practitioners. Students will also be given the opportunity to work on projects with students on other courses, such as film, animation or media production.
