CRITICAL STUDIES IN MUSIC THEATRE 4 | Federation University

PAMTC2004 CRITICAL STUDIES IN MUSIC THEATRE 4

"Students will consider the broad social contexts and philosophical shifts that underpin the development of naturalism and realism in the theatre. They will trace and reflect upon the continuing dominance of realism in theatre to contemporary times with particular reference to Music Theatre. They will connect this trajectory with the acting task of contemporary music theatre practitioners. Students are asked 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¿. Key theorists, playwrights and plays will be studied along with the rise of the director, with particular attention given to the methods and influence of Stanislavsky. "

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2025 contribution amount* $1,164
2025 grandfathered contribution amount^ $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.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
