The Master of Theatre (Dramaturgy) offers you the opportunity to explore dramaturgy beyond work with written texts and literary play scripts to encompass the contexts of dance, hybrid works, installation, community-based and performance artwork. You will develop your potential for artistic leadership and attain in-depth knowledge of dramaturgical thinking and practices from industry professionals. The course is underpinned by a commitment to the pursuit of artistic excellence, collaboration and interdisciplinarity within established and emerging local, national and international dramaturgical practices. It is closely interwoven with both the existing Master of Theatre (Directing) and Master of Theatre (Writing).Structured with a balance of theory and practice across three semesters, the program is delivered through laboratory-based workshops, seminars, lectures, self-directed exercises, tutorials, practical masterclasses, and practical work on performance projects and an independent project.
