At this point students will be engaged largely in self-directed learning, which will take place in practical rehearsal environments, and in meetings with mentors before and during the rehearsal and performance period. (LO 1-5). Final thesis papers will reflect upon festival experience, but also situate the play within the contemporary context in which it is performed. The business/career plan will include sustained independent enquiry into contemporary opportunities for young directors and into the legal and financial structures of small theatre company management. (LO 2 & 5)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, as the culminating module of the degree, both practical and theoretical components should demonstrate advanced professional skills in: artistic vision, communication, creative-problem solving, leading a team, setting budgets and schedules, conducting market research, 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 continuous monitoring in observed rehearsals and tutorials and through peer response in rehearsals, where both individual mentors as well as overall project supervisors for the BA students will be in attendance at regular points.
|
Summative assessment will be based on the final project and thesis.
