This module will examine a number of examples of performance practice in contemporary societal contexts, with regard to aesthetic form, artistic intention, the audience, and the community and site where the performance occurs. You will be introduced to relevant theoretical approaches such as theatre semiotics and spectator response theory and engage with current debates in the fields of drama, theatre, and performance. You will draw on examples of contemporary practice in responding to those theoretical approaches and debates.
You will encounter a range of contemporary examples of drama, theatre and performance practice through a series of lectures which will be supported, where possible, by theatre visits, video materials, and other media resources. Lectures will introduce you to the critical and aesthetic contexts in which such work exists, and assessment will focus on your ability to locate specific examples of practice within the relevant critical frameworks.
