PRFM3961: Rehearsal Studies
2024 unit information
The 'hidden world' of rehearsal is typically off-limits to outsiders but the exceptional creativity of performance-makers makes it a compelling focus for study. Drawing on ethnographic theory and practices, including participant-observation fieldwork, you will have the opportunity to engage in, and write about, professional rehearsal observation and workshop exercises.
