ACAPP1001 Applied Creative Arts Performance Practice 1
This introduction to acting and theatre practice through improvisation and devising is designed to open the creative pathways to students through focus on the basic elements of performance: body, space, time, text and how they can be configured to affect and address a range of audiences and purposes. Student actors will be taught techniques of improvisation and practical dramaturgy to explore personal connection with material in the studio and site specific settings. Students explore, in a practice-based way, and in reflective analysis how acting processes evolve into performance and how they affect and address different audiences and purposes. Students will participate in a variety of projects that culminate in small studio-based and/or site specific showings of performance work. The subject will introduce students to approaches to creating theatre in a range of settings including in community, education and personal development.
