Overview
This unit helps you to adopt an introductory holistic approach to your own practice by combining the technical, managerial and creative aspects of the production arts. It furthers the concepts and skills presented in the production practice foundation units and expands your knowledge of the production arts in a theatrical environment. As such, the unit consolidates managerial and technical skills and encourages you to start exploring your own independent creative practice. The unit prompts you to position yourself as a collaborative creative practitioner within the realisation of theatre and live performance. In doing so, you develop skills in the specialised fields within the production arts while building on the foundations of independent creative practice. Above all, the unit challenges you to think beyond your established production processes and explore your own contribution to the creative process.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Engage as an independent creative practitioner in a practical production context.
- Produce and distribute advanced production related documentation within a practical context.
- Apply a high-level of communication across the creative, managerial and production teams.
- Implement reflective practice principles related to theatre and live performance.
Content
The unit addresses the following content:
- production, managerial and creative processes
- utilising theatre technology in design
- an understanding of, and ability to apply, theatrical design concepts
- application of Workplace Health & Safety procedures.
Learning Approaches
This unit uses tutorials and workshops to teach practical skills, and lectures to examine theoretical content.. This unit culminates in a student-led collaborative creative project.
Because this unit involves teamwork, developmental and creative processes and a public outcome, attendance at all rehearsals, and production and performance calls is expected. By enrolling in this unit, students acknowledge that much of the associated activity will occur outside of the official timetable and attendance on weekends and evenings will be required. Injury or illness (supported with medical documentation) or other exceptional circumstances preventing full participation must be discussed with the Unit Coordinator.

Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.

Theatres are potentially dangerous places, particularly backstage during performances when low light conditions prevail. You will be warned by the stage manager, the production manager, or supervising staff member of any specific risks that you will need to be aware of when your project team first moves in to the venue or during class activities.
If you are aware of personal physical or emotional vulnerabilities you should inform teaching staff if you are feeling unsafe or at risk in any way. Every effort is made by staff at QUT to ensure that theatre students work in a safe environment. Conversely you are expected to follow all safety rules and directions, and to ensure that you do not put at risk the safety of others in any way.
