Using a range of case studies, including examples of local theatre and performance companies working in Sydney, students will explore the relationship between place and performance. They will learn techniques and theories of site-specific performance: that is, performance which creatively responds to the contexts of built and natural environments, intercultural complexity, and the demands of a range of work, recreational, and healthcare usages. They will then apply those techniques to create their own site-specific performance works on the Westmead Campus in response to the Westmead Precinct Cultural Policy. Students will produce portfolios documenting the performance work they have created.
