In the lecture and workshop series, students will study costume, design, lighting, sound, stage management, props and scenery. Each lecture will study the theoretical, creative and practical application of each discipline. In addition, students will develop a greater understanding of production roles including Stage Management, Front of House Management and Production Management where professional codes of conduct associated with performance and creative practice will be explored. Creative and Technical sessions will require the student to undertake substantial research along with developing a strategy that will assist them in crewing and supporting a production or performance in one of many different roles. Throughout the module, students will be encouraged to apply critical thinking, problem analysis and resolution as well as Occupational Health and Safety and risk management processes. Students will then work in small groups to crew and support one of the many productions or performances at the institute. This will provide students with first-hand experience and mentorship from the creative and production teams.
