PERF11026 - Performance and Production Studies 1

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Through foundation studies in ensemble music performance and/or theatre performance students should be able to synthesize their specialised performance skills within the context of publicly presented music and/or theatre ensemble performances. These music and/or theatre ensemble activities give students the opportunity to work in various performance, technical and creative roles as appropriate so that they have the opportunity to develop foundational skills in problem-solving, creative, self-regulated and critical thinking, within a team-based environment. Students enrolled in the BTheatre will also undertake studies into the functioning of the theatre as an institution and a study of the various roles of the people who work in theatre and their responsibilities. This will include issues of basic theatre safety including fire evacuation and first aid awareness. Students enrolled in the BMusic may also undertake foundational studies in artistic direction, ensemble coordination, event management and arts business.
