Course aims

Educational aims of the Drama major are to:

  • increase students' knowledge and appreciation of the history of the performing arts as well as recent evolution of innovative live arts in relation to a variety of theories that impact on performance and the perception of performance
  • enable students to explore selected performance works drawn form an international field and to discover connections with recent developments and current practice in Australia and enable students to experience some of these theories in practical applications through workshop activities and screenings
  • provide opportunities for students to recognise, articulate and evaluate the live aesthetics and embodied ethics of historical and contemporary performance
  • develop students' ability to think, speak and write about performance in a critically-engaged, aesthetically-informed and ethically responsive manner.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the major students are expected to:

  • describe the significance of selected performance works and their contribution to the evolution of the performing arts
  • apply appropriate aesthetic criteria in analysing an relevant performance work and evaluation its intervention within a cultural context
  • participate constructively and reflectively in discussion of the embodied ethics of performance, and integrate and embody theoretical concepts in the performances in which they participate
  • identify opportunities for engaging aesthetic criteria and ethical considerations in students' own practice as artists and critics.
