This module commences the group projects which lead towards a final Edinburgh Festival Fringe production. You will be cast in a group, and you will work together as a collaborative team. You may also be working with an MFA Director if appropriate. The module will focus on strategies for enhancing creativity, setting the stage for innovative work, effective group communication, sympathetic listening and responding, and enhancing group problem-solving abilities. Along with classes, you will have scheduled rehearsal times with the directors (and possibly writers) and will be focused on creating and honing short sample scripts (15-20 mins each) and performances of a contemporary scene and for a Fringe Festival presentation proposal.
