Module Indicative Content
This module will allow students to work with professionals within the professional theatre, or in local schools. The placement is for 30 hours (approximately one half-day per week or equivalent by arrangement with the Placement Supervisor and/or the placement organisation) which will constitute the contact hours for the module. The particular work/research undertaken will be discussed and agreed between the Placement Supervisor, placement organisation and the student. This will ensure a programme of experience and training that maximises the benefits for all parties.
