Creating Theatre and Performance
Advanced Course - second year
This course takes the dynamic principles discovered in the Initiation Course and applies them to dramatic creation. It seeks to discover the driving forces within different dramatic territories, giving the students a deeper understanding of existing theatrical languages. This knowledge will allow the students to find a contemporary approach to existing styles - or to go entirely beyond them, and create their very own theatre.
