This unit aims to introduce the student to Contemporary Arts Practice(s). The unit has a ‘theories into practice’ ethos which means the student learns through active participation in workshop/studio-based activities.  By actively engaging in the theories and practices surrounding intercultural, cross-disciplinary/interdisciplinary performance, students will broaden their understanding and awareness, thus expanding their own boundaries within conceptual art forms.  Through practice-based research the student will develop their practical skills and the unit will culminate in a showcase of this work.  Students will be encouraged through a strategic framework to reflect on their personal, cultural and creative positioning within The Arts, and will engage in self and peer assessment exercises.
