Clayton First semester 2007 (Day)
This is a performance based unit which continues from PER1040 and PER1260. It investigates the processes of making and theorising performance. Each week students will complete short performance exercises exploring a particular element of performance, such as space, tempo, bodies etc. They will then proceed to make a self-devised work drawing on the ideas and practices of the weekly sessions. In addition there will be several guided performance projects throughout the semester. There will also be readings and discussions on the performance-making strategies and theoretical positions of well-known practitioners. Students will write up and critique the projects in which they have participated.
Upon successful completion of this unit students should:
Seminar/ workshop participation: 25%
Devised performance project (3000 words equivalent): 25% +
Additional performance project(s) (3000 words equivalent): 25%

6 hours (1 x 2 hour seminar and a minimum of 4 hours of performance workshops and rehearsals) per week
