Project Realization 1 - Exposure and Development

Brief course description

The Project Realisation 1–2 courses encompass various forms of individual and collective presentations, work demonstrations, études and productions. Central elements include conceptual development, investigation, project development and execution, reception and effect analysis, documentation and presentation. The various formats will entail encounters with diverse audiences. The courses will enable the students to create and present theatrical expressions and productions, in various formats and of a high quality, that can unfold in relevant contexts and showcase the student’s artistry.

Project Realisation 1 is focused on the various Master’s projects. The student’s own Master’s project, and other initiated project work, shall be developed in collaboration with his or her fellow students, in shifting collaborative constellations and in different spaces/exhibition venues, both open and closed to the public.

Project Realisation 1–2 are half-year courses that are assessed and completed after each semester. Project Realisation 2 will build on Project Realisation 1 and entail an academic progression. These courses lead up to the Master’s project, which is executed during semester 4.

The course’s learning outcomes

Upon completing the course, students shall

• have acquired relevant knowledge and experience with surveying, testing, developing and realising the potential of their own and others’ projects
• have gained insight into and an understanding of the academic specialisation and planned Master’s projects of their fellow students

Teaching and learning methods

The work methods may include educator-led teaching, supervision and independent work and consist of practical exercises, creative assignments, lectures, independent study, project work and written assignments. The course will emphasise the development of a workplace community and opportunities for collaboration, as well as a short distance between the idea (whether one’s own or one that is initiated/curated) and the audience. On the basis of the student group’s composition, the work will be adapted to the programme’s progression and aims.

Coursework requirements:

• active participation and mandatory attendance at the scheduled times for teaching, supervision, group work, excursions, discussion forums and courses
• submission and presentation of mandatory course assignments within the stated deadlines

Assessment

The coursework requirements must be approved in order for a student to receive a final course assessment.

The student’s coursework will be assessed on an ongoing basis. The ongoing assessment is based on supervision, teacher assessments, group discussions and the student’s independent reflection on their own academic development as seen in relation to the course’s learning outcomes.

The course coordinator will carry out the ongoing assessment and the final assessment.

The course uses a grading scale of A to F, where A is the best grade and F is a failing grade.
