Work from Established Practitioners

The Work of Established Practitioners 
Through engagement with drama, film and theatre, this subject aims to develop an appreciation of established practitioners, both in Ireland and internationally, and their work, in a variety of contexts.

The creative process is intended to support students’ understanding of the iterative nature of making any piece of film or theatre. Engaging with a range of sources, including the work of established practitioners, and researching a variety of forms, techniques and conventions will be a key part of the creative process. It will provide students with a foundation of knowledge, skills, values and dispositions upon which they can develop their work.

In the Critical Response Process Strand, students learn to develop and articulate their own considered personal, critical and creative responses to the work of established practitioners, the work of their peers and their own work. They engage in a process of critical response as they interact with artistic works from the world of theatre and film. They begin to consider theatre and films through a critical response process lens and engage with the work of established critics in both the theatrical and cinematic spheres.
