Intermediate Theatre Arts

Semester Two

Students of Intermediate Theatre Arts wish to narrow and deepen their exploration of theatre arts; this is done both independently and with others.

Students will explore areas of Social Justice Theatre (e.g. Brecht, Boal, Fo) and its impact upon culture and politics; Realism and Stanislavski's legacy on stage and in film; staging of canonical texts in both original and 21st century styles (e.g. Shakespeare in film).

Prerequisite: Intro to Theatre Arts or equivalent.

Assessments are 70% Practical and 30% Theory; all practical tasks have a rationale component. There will be two research based tasks. Link to Syllabus here; link to handouts here.
