Rational…Why assess a world theatre traditions presentation? The exploration of theatre traditions and their conventions gives you an understanding of theatre that is particular to a certain place and/or time. Traditions are an important part of any investigation into culture, and this task requires you to engage with a theatre tradition that has fixed conventions and is a part of a particular culture’s theatrical tradition. The physical and practical exploration of a performance convention presents you with the significant concept that knowledge and understanding in theatre can often be somatic, that is, experienced and learned through the body and often situated within the body. This assessment task provides you with the opportunity to bring together conventional methods of research with somatic research, ie both practical and physical. It provides you with an opportunity to learn through action and to make connections between performance across cultures, places and periods. The detailed exploration and application of one particular theatre convention gives you the opportunity to have a different perspective on performance, as well as a chance to develop your general performance skills. A live presentation is an appropriate way of informing, sharing and demonstrating action research. It develops the your ability to coherently and confidently express yourself and share your discoveries and learning. A.
