About this course
This course is designed to meet the career aspirations of a range of practitioners in the field, including traditional puppeteers, 3D animators and games developers.
Students will explore the synergies between:
• puppetry
• object theatre and digital animation
• key themes common to both traditional and modern practice.
Analysis and interrogation of the character of both live and mediated arenas is central to this degree, allowing students to explore international differences in the theory and approaches to both puppetry and digital animation. Interdisciplinary collaboration in the early stages of the MA is also encouraged.
We offer a great variety of MA titles, but best of all we give you the opportunity to work in a truly transdisciplinary environment. NTU gives MA students their own designated space, where you can meet students from different subject areas and obtain information and support from an MA coordinator and administrator. This makes it easy for you to work with your fellow students, learning the skills of collaborative and inter-cultural sensitivity.
课程内容Course Content ：
This course has been designed to enable you to research, develop and produce new work as part of your practice. This might be in the areas of puppetry, object theatre or digital animation documentary.
• You will develop, demonstrate and apply autonomous skills in research, analysis and practice through a structured programme which integrates scholarly and creative perspectives and processes.
• Complete a new body of appropriately contextualised work that will display comprehensive knowledge and understanding of your area of practice.
• Practical and managerial expertise in project management and advanced research will be explored in the context of global cultural and creative industries.
You will complete the work proposed in your Learning Agreement; this is most likely to be a significant new body of practice accompanied by documentation of your research and a reflective journal. You may have chosen to write a dissertation and, if so, the length will be agreed with your tutor. In every case you will present your work appropriately, to an audience, in a professional, effective manner.
Importantly, you will be in an enabling environment and context that embraces, questions and celebrates the multiple forms of puppetry, object theatre and digital animation. In particular, this course seeks to extend understanding of the ways in which practice works to incorporate cultural and technological developments.
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment ：
Assessment is carried out via coursework at the end of each phase, culminating in an exposition of student work towards the end of the course.
