This compulsory second year module for FdA Community Theatre has a focus on community development, and students will have opportunities to investigate equality of opportunity and community cultural development as they engage with communities in Southend, Loughton and the wider south east England region.
Students will extend their experience of creating theatre in a range of forms, styles and performance environments. They will explore a variety of approaches to physical theatre, object manipulation and outdoor performance, extending their technical and acting skills to apply to the demanding environments of street theatre. The work of this module culminates in the creation of Pandemonium - a street theatre festival for the people of Southend.
