Description

Subject Area: Theatre and Performance Studies

Calling all performance makers! Solo Performance is a practice-based course that that gives you the opportunity to develop a 5 minute solo performance for public presentation. Each weekly workshop will provide you with techniques for creating your own performance work while drawing upon contemporary traditions in performance art and the historical avant-garde. You will be exposed to a wide range of artistic performance practices, creative processes and historical and theoretical contexts for the making of your own work. You will be in constant practical mode, which, when you are not making yourself, will train you in the responsive skills of dramaturgical feedback. Solo Performance offers a more focused and practically intensive mode than first and second year courses. You will find exciting crossovers between the practice undergone in this course, and the ideas and theories approached in related courses in the Theatre and Performance Studies major. This course is equally designed for those wishing to extend their performance skills, to develop a career as an artist or to use embodied learning to think through and express critical questions and complex ideas. This course is part of the Theatre and Performance Studies stream. It can also be taken in the Dance Studies stream.
