Description including Unit Aims

In Year 2 core units develop the approaches introduced in Year 1 and expand contextual frameworks. Students are expected to develop their analytical and creative skills and their ability to structure their work and present it coherently. The unit will enable students to make links between and be aware of comparative frameworks for the analysis of performance & screen forms and contexts, by developing and extending students' critical awareness and knowledge of a broad range of issues and problems encountered in performance & screen practice, and by extending the students' abilities in applying critical methods to textual and performance & screen analysis by focusing upon specific critical/ generic questions in performance & screen practice.
