Course aims

ENG The module aims to:
1) offer the opportunity to investigate various training and creative methods, strategies and interdisciplinary perspectives in contemporary performance;
2) promote a critical attitude towards modes of making in contemporary performance practice in order to evaluate the interrelation between training methods and creative processes;
3) give students practical hands-on experience and competency to use various training and creative methods in the development of their artistic practice.

This module runs in parallel and is closely related to the module “CPM011 Creative Project: Devising Performance” in order to provide students with new creative strategies and techniques to support the process of collaborative performance. This module is delivered by guest artists who introduce their training and creative methods through active collaboration and studio investigation. The students training in this module is also supported by Skills Development classes. Weekly seminars allow students to analyse and contextualise their experiences in various workshops and use new acquired skills in their creative projects.
