Content
This unit consolidates your technical, managerial, and creative skills in the production arts. Building on Technical Production 1 and 2, it encourages you to integrate these disciplines through independent and collaborative projects in a theatrical environment. You will develop an awareness of your role as a creative collaborator within live performance, applying and refining skills across design, production, and management. The unit challenges you to extend beyond established production processes and to articulate your own creative and professional identity within the field.
