Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning will take place in intensive classes that will address very specific issues related to writing technique and, as the term progresses, increasingly in practical rehearsal environments. Along with rehearsals and intensive classes, students will also have 8 hours of individual tutorial (some of which may be in rehearsal, or may be face-to-face in person or online), in which to discuss early ‘etude’ assignments, and later script development in detail. (LOs 1 -5). Final project/s will rehearse in both independent and observed sessions, and will be monitored through direct contact throughout with the module leader. The module will culminate in a staged reading (LO 6).Embedding of employability/PDP/Scholarship SkillsThe design of this programme is such that all practical modules simulate professional conditions and all theoretical modules inculcate skills that are valued by employers across a range of industries. Specifically, both practical and theoretical modules promote advanced skills in: communication, creative-problem solving, working collaboratively, working with a high-level of autonomy, and excellent time-management.Research / teaching linkagesThe module will be supported by tutors who are active in the industry and whose professional work and networks will ensure that student practice is up to date and industry-relevant. Supporting equality and diversityIn the design of this programme, and in its delivery, we are committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all, and to ensuring that no individual is discriminated against. The nature of creating and producing new performance work is such that we feel staff and students will have the opportunity actively to promote multicultural points of view. Small intake across this course ensures that we will be able to respond to students individually, and to employ a variety of teaching and assessment methods to support a student’s learning experience. We will value the diverse experience that students from a wide variety of backgrounds bring to the work and the structure of this programme is such that it gives voice to that variety of experience.InternationalisationGiven the context of our delivery in Edinburgh, and the student residency for at least one if not two of the summer festivals, we are certain that students will be made aware of the international potential for their work, as well as the presence of international practice that can inspire the same in students’ work. Additionally, we hope to target a number of universities internationally in the hope of building a globally diverse cohort each year.

Formative assessment will occur through peer response in rehearsals, and through continuous close observation and dialogue with mentors on the set ‘etudes’, and as ‘staged reading’ scene drafts develop toward the second half of the term. Summative assessment will be based on the script or scripts produced for a final staged reading of the draft scene/s.
