DTV2200 Puppet Theatre Course description

Eksamen vurderes av intern og ekstern sensor.

Passed DT1000 Drama and Theatrecommunication or equivalent and DT2000 Dramaturgy or equivalent for students in bachelorprogramme.

Emne 2 er delt i fire hovedtemaer:

• Naturfagdidaktikk 1-2
• Kropp og helse 1-2
• Jorda 1-2
• Kjemi 1-2
• Fysikk 1-2

Most of the work will take place in workshops and seminars. The students will test different ideas and techniques and subsequently analyse the work. They will have responsibility for organising and carrying out their own group work. The students must therefore set aside time for individual work and group practice outside the ordinary time spent on teaching.

Lectures, workshops, discussions, presentations, assessment and excursions linked to the students’ understanding of the discipline and development of own practice. Study trips can be organised to relevant puppet theatre festivals/communities

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• workshop and performance work
• internal group performances
• The students shall also stage a puppet theatre performance of at least ten minutes’ duration for an audience of children, young people and adults.

Compulsory attendance at teaching activities: The students cannot be absent for more than 20% of teaching and supervision activities subject to an attendance and participation requirement.

The exam in the course is twofold:

1. Written development assignment - individual

The elements that are emphasised in the final assessment are whether the student demonstrates satisfactory knowledge of puppet theatre as a form of theatre and the student’s ability to discuss methods and issues in light of relevant theory.

The assignment shall have a scope of max. 20 pages and be assessed by an internal examiner. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners. The assessment of the development assignment counts for 40% of the final pass grade. The result of the exam can be appealed.

1. Practical performance exam - group

A group performance of approx. 30 minutes’ duration. Assessment of the performance with subsequent oral problematisation, discussion and assessment. Four weeks’ preparation time is given. The exam is assessed by two examiners. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.

The assessment will be based on:

• aesthetic and ethical criteria
• artistic qualities
• suitability in relation to the target group

After the performance, the group shall reflect on and analyse both the process and product in conversation with the internal and external examiner. The group conversation is included as part of the assessment.

The practical performance exam counts for 60% of the grade.

The result of the exam cannot be appealed.

Assessment

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used for the final assessment.

In some cases, the practical/oral group exams can be held as individual exams.
