These experiences happen in a very real way, with The SPACE Company collectively creating and showing over 15 public productions per year.
Company members are also responsible for and assessed on business elements of the production process including marketing strategies such as graphic design for posters and programmes, budgeting and social networking.
They will develop their research skills through exploring the work of practitioners, understanding of health and safety and the historical context of performance.
Company Members need to spend time reflecting on their own performances and evidencing their understanding, through written work on the Apple Mac computers or in videoed discussions.
