Practical Project 1

Practical Project 2

The module starts with an exploration of narrative theory beginning with Aristotle and moving on to the works of such theorists as Vladimir Propp, Tzvetan Todorov, Roland Barthes and Claude Levi-Strauss. Through this theoretical investigation, students will be invited to build a general model of narrative structure. Through practical staff-led workshop investigations, students will be invited to explore various theatre modes of narrative development. The module culminates in a student-developed piece of micro theatre that will explore and expose varied and appropriate narrative devices and strategies.
