Brief description
Through a series of lectures, seminars, student led seminars, group tutorials and workshops the students will be introduced to a range of Interdisciplinary practices and theories, looking at the contexts, practices and theories of artists from various discipline perspectives, for example, from the perspective of the disciplines offered within the Creative Arts scheme: Fine Art, Theatre and Performance, Creative Writing and Film & TV. The students will learn how to conceive and develop a self-directed individual creative practice and portfolio alongside self-directed research. The students will learn how to contextualize their developing practice within a wider contemporary interdisciplinary critical discourse
