THM300 Theatre and Cultural Action (8)
Abstract|
Theatre and Cultural Action provides students a survey of the ways in which theatre is used as a form of cultural action. Australian and international exemplars of theatricalised site-specific events and drama-based programs are analysed to understand how they are designed for specific social contexts. Designing workshops for generating diverse cultural performance outcomes provides a practical focus for theoretical/conceptual research. |
