Brief description
This module presents students with a broad field of analysis in which to place and contextualize their interest in advanced creative practice. The module examines the practices of performance-makers and scenographers as existing in an expanded field marked by the axes of space, time, material and form. Students will be introduced to, and examine, these four axes at the beginning of the module and will then explore the variety of ways in which performance makers and scenographers work with them. The module provides students with an understanding and appreciation of the various elements which combine to allow performance to function as a medium, and presents ideas and approaches to performance-making with can directly inform and inspire the student’s own creative practice
