Assessment |
|
This module aims to examine, in the context of practical implementation, selected principles and methodologies of scenography pertaining to a range of production practices. Building upon the studies of semesters 1 and 2, students will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to engage a range of scenographic working practices appropriate to a diversity of departmental productions. Working in small groups and led by the course tutors, students will have the opportunity to both observe and execute collaborative design processes, and share responsibility in bringing these processes through to realisation in performance. Individually, students will generate and collate documents of research, representation, communication and process pertinent to specific practices of scenography in production. Collectively these documents will be organised as working notebooks and/or electronic folio material, and should function not simply as records, but as both the instrument and embodiment of thought.
