Unit description
Creativity lies at the core of the contemporary performing arts and entertainment industries. This unit explores a variety of creative approaches and students develop key practical and conceptual skills necessary for undertaking independent creative practice. Students will explore performance processes across a wide range of forms and disciplines so that they are able to develop a performance project, using production elements such as live performance, sound, light, and video. No prior experience of the performing arts and entertainment industries is required.

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
Attendance Students are expected to view all lectures for MMCC2125. Lectures are not optional: they are a central component of meeting the learning outcomes in this unit and deliver important content that is directly assessed. Students who elect to not view lectures will miss out on important unit content and do so at their own risk. Students are likewise expected to attend all tutorials for MMCC2125. Tutorials are not optional: they deliver important content through practical application and are a central component of meeting the learning outcomes in this unit. Tutorials provide an environment where students can discuss ideas and learn from each other, building important networks and group work skills. In tutorials, you will also have the opportunity to ask for assistance from your tutor and receive informal feedback on work in progress. Students who do not attend tutorials will miss out on important unit content and learning activities and do so at their own risk.
Group Exercises Students in this unit must be willing to work within a group and to assume responsibility for the group's process. Students are required to wear comfortable clothes and shoes for practical exercises and tutorials.
Independent Work Students are expected to work independently outside of scheduled Class times when they are working on all assessments. MMCC2125 students will need to do their own reading of relevant texts and preparation of devised performance outside class time.
