Course Description:
Validating Body: University of the Arts, London
Performance Design and Practice is conceived as an expanding field incorporating aspects of both the theatre industry and professional fine art practice. The course draws upon and seeks to contribute to this broad territory, promoting practitioners with understandings ranging across contexts: from traditional theatre to live and performance art, installation, film, television, spatial/exhibition/event design, video and live music events, gaming and virtual performance.
It aims to introduce, analyse and challenge the idea of performance, interpreting it in the context of the current eclectic, cross-disciplinary nature of the arts - transcending language barriers and encouraging students to explore and challenge traditional territories and assumptions.
The course approaches the enormous diversity of the subject area through offering the experience of creative perspectives, broadly expressed as design, composition/authorship, and performing. The activities are inherently collaborative - whether designing, directing, writing, performing or taking responsibility for any individual role in the creation of a performance event. The course seeks to enable students to work as self-directed creative individuals in relation to collaborative contexts.
