Learning Outcomes:
Typically, upon completion of the module, the student will be able:
to demonstrate an intelligent awareness of the repercussions of social and cultural context upon the form and function of performance
to formulate and employ personal research strategies in the examination of the relationship between a specific context and performance practice
to analyse reflexively - and to rework performatively - personal intellectual argument
to realise academic argument through performative procedures, requiring communication and oral presentation skills; and to employ personal performative practices in academic presentation
Process
The lectures concentrate upon definitions of performance as an aesthetic event and provide a series of oblique approaches for its analysis through the use of video and mult-media.
The seminars allow for further reflection upon key notions introduced in lectuers and upon the implication for the development of the assessment assignments.
