Stage Technology 1B is a 12-credit second-semester module that forms part of your Higher Certificate in Performing Arts Technology. This module seeks to support students in extending their theatre-related technical vocabulary while extending their learning towards areas of new media in the theatre and their impacts on global and local theatre histories. Additionally the module engages new media technologies as part of DUT’s entrepreneurial focus, using these in the context of equipping students for industry readiness as a free-lance technician.
This module seeks to offer students some theoretical background in terms of Stage Technologies and their histories and terminologies that will enable students to communicate effectively in various working environments that interface with performing arts technologies and particularly those related to advancements in new media and their uses in and impacts on live performing arts and entertainment industries.
Throughout the semester students will engage a series of "Technology Then and Now" discussions/investigations. These short discussions/investigations explore how historical entertainment technologies have influenced contemporary creative practices both locally and globally.
