PAATC1002 CRITICAL STUDIES IN THEATRE 2
Students will learn about the development of the Performing Arts in Australia from colonial times to the present. As an outcome students identify cultural myths at work in society as they are expressed in theatre. Students learn to consider their own place as self-reflexive artists, located in Australia, in a globalised world. Students investigate the structure and development of the Australian Performing Arts industry and note significant companies, venues and funding bodies. Students demonstrate a critical language around the performance of music theatre and to apply this to live performance and to their own 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: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* 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.
