PAATC2004 CRITICAL STUDIES IN THEATRE 4
This course follows the development of Naturalism and Realism from the C19th to C21st, in theatre in Europe, the US and Australia. Students examine what it means to `act naturally¿ and consider the limits of a style of theatre that aspires to hold the `mirror up to nature¿ and reflect real life on stage. Students research the broad social contexts and philosophical shifts that underpin the development of naturalism and realism in the theatre. As a result of this course students analyse and reflect upon the continuing dominance of realism in theatre to contemporary times. Key theorists, playwrights and plays will be studied along with the rise of the director.
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.
