During rehearsals students will encounter and experience appropriate theatre games, improvisations, exercises and workshops, which will be specifically designed to aid each student's understanding of interpreting text for performance and help them to fulfill the requirements specified by his/her allocation. These projects will be performed either in the Aberystwyth Arts Centre or in one of the Departmental performance venues or an appropriate site-specific location. There will be a total of five public performances of the performance/project which will give an opportunity for parents, friends and members of the public to view the practical work of the Department. During the rehearsal process, students will be advised to keep a working notebook documenting significant developments and challenges they have encountered. At the end of the project, students will participate in an oral examination during which they will analyse and appraise their experiences of the module. Students will be required to keep a working notebook in which they will critically appraise the process.
