This module is designed to provide you with an opportunity to collaborate and experiment through interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary performance labs.

Through this course you will be introduced to a range of Production Technologies such as those used for Sound, Lighting, and Stage. You will learn how to use the related technologies safely and effectively, and how they relate to the wider theatrical whole. You will then apply this learning through a process of experimenting with the production technology in a theatre venue, working as a group of peers towards a shared vision and presentation.

You will be provided with preparatory and introductory resources at the start of the term to provide you with a critical and contextual underpinning for the chosen topic. Preparatory and introductory material may take the form of readings, digital resources, tasks, reflections, or asynchronous discussions. Contextual underpinnings explored through independent study will be tested in practice through a week-long experimental and collaborative performance labs.
