You look at key critical frameworks, contemporary issues in the performing arts economies and approaches to research in the arts. You undertake advanced skills development in workshops and classes and apply these skills in full professional practice: productions and other live or recorded performance. Assessment revolves around your development as a creative researcher and practitioner. You document, analyse and defend your work. Assessment includes critical portfolios, verbal presentations, presentation of made work, as well as essays and conventional critical writing. There are also oral examinations. You can undertake a conventional dissertation as an alternative to a final piece of practice.
