Content
This unit helps you to consolidate your own practice by combining the technical, managerial and creative aspects of the production arts. It furthers the concepts and skills presented in Technical Production 1 and 2 and expands your knowledge in a theatrical environment. As such, the unit consolidates managerial and technical skills and encourages you to start exploring your own independent creative practice. The unit prompts you to position yourself as a collaborator within the realisation of theatre and live performance. In doing so, you develop skills in the specialised fields within the production arts while building on the foundations of independent creative practice. Above all, the unit challenges you to think beyond your established production processes and explore your own contribution to theatrical processes. In this unit you will have the option to focus on one particular area, work on a Deakin production and lay the foundations for transition into the profession.
