Using a range of case studies, including examples of local theatre and performance companies working in Sydney, students will explore the relationship between place and performance. They will learn techniques and theories of site-specific performance: that is, performance which creatively responds to built and natural environments, to contested histories, and to complex cultural politics. They will then apply those techniques to create their own site-specific performance works on University of Sydney campuses. Students will produce portfolios documenting the performance work they have created.
