Theatre in Context

1. This area of the syllabus addresses the understanding that theatre does not occur in a vacuum. You will examine the personal, theoretical and cultural contexts that inform theatre-making and the ways in which these affect and influence creating, designing, directing, performing and spectating. Through the theatre in context area, you will: 
   
   

• understand the contexts that influence, inform and inspire your own work as theatre-makers and that determine the theatre that you choose to make and study
  

• experience practically and critically appreciate the theoretical contexts that inform different world theatre practices 
• be informed about the wider world of theatre and begin to understand and appreciate the many cultural contexts within which theatre is created
