Programme Leader for Performance Management: Graham Price
Course Description:
The
BA Performance Management (BAPM) combines the study of two fields
that are professionally recognised as Stage Management and Arts
Management, to offer a broad-based and practically grounded learning
experience that covers key aspects of managing performance, including
production and technical management as well as arts administration
and front of house management. The fields of study represented in
this course run successfully as Bachelor of Arts Programmes both
nationally and internationally. What makes this programme unique is
the way in which Stage Management and Arts Management are brought
together allowing a dynamic exploration of common objectives.
BAPM will operate in the context
of the well-established community of performing arts provision that
thrives at the University of Winchester. This portfolio currently
includes degree programmes in Choreography and Dance, Drama,
Performing Arts, Screen Production, Community Theatre and Media and a
Foundation Degree in Creative Industries and will soon include MA
Creative Practice and MA Arts Management. The programme will take
full advantage of this extensive and vibrant performing arts
environment.
The creation and management of
live performance is a complex and demanding process which requires
careful planning, the fostering of safe working practices, good
communication skills, sensitivity to the feelings and views of others
and the ability to think clearly, responding quickly and effectively
to a wide range of production and performance challenges. A core
principle of the programme is to foster an approach to all management
activities that is enabling and not inhibitive of the creative
process with the proviso that all activities are safe and
sustainable.
The programme will explore
management strategies that are able to respond to different
performance environments and the demands of performance practitioners
who are often pushing the envelope of artistic possibility in a
society that does not always understand the creative process and
increasingly insists on complex systems of accountability.
