The course “Theatre and Production” introduces the nature and significance of theatre as well as the relationships of theatre institution with cultural policy and globalisation. It also covers the managerial aspects of theatre production, such as programming, fundraising, outreach and education, etc. The current curatorial practice of “cultural exchange” in local and global contexts and the crisis management of “theatre goes digital” during the pandemic are explored as well. Besides, fieldtrips at theatres and guest sharing sessions by theatre practitioners are organised for students to interpret performances or reflect the challenges faced by theatre-makers in a globalised world.
