Position 2: Devised, site specific or physical performancePlease note that both positions require a capacity to teach both studio-based practice and contextual theory and history related to that practice such as history of Australian Theatre, and the history and theory of theatre and performance.WAAPA's Bachelor of Performing Arts is an incubator for future cultural leaders and artists who are passionate about telling stories and driving change in the global Performing Arts landscape. Students build the foundational skills necessary for a contemporary career in independent and commercial performance making, and the field of performance making as social practice.As part of the Performance Making major, students start with intensive training in voice and movement studies, before advancing to original, self-devised and collaborative approaches to creating, producing, and presenting independent contemporary performance projects.Students study the devising of text, character, story, and physical performance and apply these skills to a series of projects of group devised, site specific, directed, and puppetry performance. In a final independent project, students work in small pre-professional companies to conceive, research, rehearse and produce their own performance. Historical context units help students build up knowledge and understanding of the roots of contemporary performance practice. There is a particular focus on the twentieth century developments in practices, philosophies, and theories of performance, and how those developments inform the current landscape of experimental performance.Students explore contemporary and progressive approaches to performance making as social practice, investigating the role of performance in social transformation through its intersections with power, politics, sex, gender, disability, and the institution. Students test this knowledge through the facilitation of a range of applied performance projects in partnership with industry and the community.SELECTION CRITERIA
