BALIT2003 Reading Drama
This course examines selected plays central to the development of drama in the Western tradition, with a critical emphasis on a historical, cultural and performative analysis of these works. As such, it concentrates on the most significant and innovative forms of dramatic literature across history, ranging from Ancient Greek Drama, to Renaissance drama, and developments in dramatic practice and theory in the 20th and 21st centuries. The course develops a coherent narrative of the ways in which drama has developed in the Western tradition and discusses how literary and social movements influenced innovative dramatic practice.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
