Description
This module is designed to challenge the learner's interpretative and collaborative abilities. By engaging with a major Shakespearian play,Shakespeare offers an opportunity for both critical and creative thinking; learners will design a major play by Shakespeare or equivalent playwright. They reflect constructively on their strengths and weaknesses by interrogating the text from a spatial, imaginative, cultural, visual and philosophical perspective.The relationship of director and designer and the nature of the creative collaboration is examined. Problem solving requiring technical, imaginative and aesthetic responses is broadened. Evidence of research into the political, social, historical, cultural and psychological background of the selected text, along with clear professional, presentation and communication skills, will form an integral part of the project design.
