This course introduces students to practice in educational drama so they may apply deliver workshops to and in collaboration with a wide variety of participants. Students will undertake reflexivity and ambiguity as ways to experiment with  how drama is used as a pedagogic tool to teach about the human condition The learning in this course is dynamic and aims to build on already-practiced skills from first year in order to increase the capacity for employability in the cultural or educational sectors.

Students operating at an advanced level will demonstrate capacity to think critically and to integrate ideas with practice to achieve a tangible outcome. All 3rd year students in the Bachelor of Creative Arts and Community Wellbeing will undertake this applied project course to ensure entry level practical experience within a community setting to assist in their preparation for employment. It is particularly important that students are able to identify problems, resolve them in a creative and ethical manner, and reflect critically on the process.

From the moment they were first written, performed, and printed, classical plays (from the Greeks to the Renaissance) have been subjected to almost constant contestation and adaptation. Perhaps more than any other set of creative texts, these dramatic works have been cut, edited, abridged, modernised, and re-written for stage and screen, turned into novels, comics, games, and apps, and transformed for use in classrooms, prisons, and digital media. The study of the variety of ways in which classic dramatic texts have been adapted and re-written provides students with a crucial engagement with theories of text and performance that can be applied in their own project and creative work, and furthers develops the scholarly, critical and writing skills attained in THT1001 and THT1002.

This course seeks to explore at an advanced level the intersection between theory and practice within the creative arts and human services sectors. Students operating at an advanced level will be able to be independent and apply critical thinking to integrate their knowledge of both sectors to generate an appropriate project for implementation.  All 3rd year students in the Bachelor of Creative Arts and Community Wellbeing will undertake this applied project course to ensure entry level practical experience within a community setting to assist in their preparation for employment. It is particularly important that students are able to identify problems, resolve them in a creative and ethical manner, and reflect critically on the process. This course enables students to build on the skills and insights gained from completing CAW3001 by enacting independent practice within a community setting under limited supervision.
