Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The term will begin with intensive study of business and marketing skills required in small scale theatre companies, which will include 2 mentoring sessions for each group alongside classes. (LO4) Companies will rehearse and prepare a preview showing of their proposed Fringe festival production (LO1-3). Additionally, each group will have 15 hours of mentor observation time throughout the module working with agreed mentors observing and giving feedback as arranged. Companies may work with an MFA Directing student and/or may work with an MFA Playwriting student under interdisciplinary supervision. Along with the preview showing, each company will produce an enhanced project business plan which demonstrates a breadth of analysis, with careful and detailed financial projections, a full and final marketing plan that reflects the company mission statement and a future projection plan for sustaining the company for at least two years beyond the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (LO4) The module will provide a first public showing as preparation for Edinburgh Fringe Festival presentations during August. Because the nature of these classes is strongly group based, attendance at all classes, workshops and rehearsals is vital.
|
Feedback given immediately by both directors and mentors in weekly workshops allows you to understand your own progress and to adjust your learning goals and objectives as rehearsals progress. Based on this preview, critical feedback will also allow student groups to review and refine the production for the final festival presentation module.
|
The summative assessment mark will be composed of two elements: Assessed final performances (80%) (LO1,2,3) and group company business plan (20%) (LO4). Both elements will include both tutor (80%) and peer marking (20%). All assessments are assessed against explicit assessment criteria rubric.
