Making Plays : Creating original and dynamic theatre

Students learn to work together towards a common artistic goal, using all the elements of theatre to create performances. This interdisciplinary course will focus on how to create original devised pieces for the theatre using light, sound, movement, text, music, media and the visual arts.

The goal of the course is to provide an opportunity for students with interests in the visual and performing arts to learn techniques to create multi-disciplinary theatrical pieces. Throughout the course students will investigate methods for creating performances, learn about contemporary devised work and companies, and develop a critical vocabulary to analyze performances.
