PRFM5902: 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 research. Approaching the study of rehearsal through ethnographic theory, we read and apply key texts on participant-observation fieldwork to rehearsal observation and workshop exercises.
