Subject Area: Theatre and Performance Studies
This course examines the rise of the solo performer as one aspect of contemporary performance culture across the last four decades. In experiential mode, students explore techniques for making a 5-minute solo performance, drawing upon historical traditions in performance art and the contexts of current critical debate. Students are exposed to a wide range of performance theories, performance makers and methodologies to enable the development of their own work. Students are expected to be in constant practical mode: responding to, feeding back to, and generating work for public performance. This is a level 3 course which enables a more focussed and practically intensive mode than first and second year courses. Students will find crossovers between the practice intensive undergone in this course, and the ideas and theories approached in aligned courses. They will also extend the practical work done in first and second years to more formalised performance contexts.
