In this subject students are able to further extend technical and creative knowledge learnt formally in the classroom. Students are assigned to placements on productions mounted either within or beyond the College (this can include attendance at Festivals). The placements introduce the student to the complexity of the production process in areas that they may not be familiar with and to the collaborative nature of the work within the different fields of performance.

On completion of this subject students should be able to

• work productively and creatively at various levels, both as an individual and as a team member, in a wide variety of visual/performing artist environments;
• demonstrate skills in the gathering and organisation of research materials;
• effectively document the creative process.
