In the past 20 years, some of the most exciting and innovative live performance worldwide has been performer-driven. This creative surge has been the work of solo artists, ensembles, auteurs and performer-directors, who have redefined boundaries and stretched the theatrical imagination into new spaces, both literally and figuratively.
This programme is designed to bring performers from diverse backgrounds into collaborative study and practice, acknowledging the challenges of creating theatre in a globalised culture. It is taught by international professionals from a variety of disciplines – theatre dance and live art. Your creative research is developed through classes and workshops in performance, focusing on physical training methodologies drawn from a range of cultural forms.
You study composition via scenography, mise-en-scène and narrative structures, both live and cinematic. You are introduced to the creative possibilities of digital and multi-media technology.
You explore and test your practice in studio, theatre and/or site-based projects. All of your work will address questions of performer-spectator relationships and the specific environments – community, cultural and architectural – for which you create live performances.
