Introduction

Collaborative work is integral to working in and with the creative and cultural industries. This unit encourages you to take supported creative risks and introduces you to work-integrated learning methods and practices. Over the course of the semester, you will be introduced to interdisciplinary approaches for devising and refining creative work, and best practices for working in a team environment that mimics the emergent cultural industries. Working with staff and peers from across Media and Communication, Fine Arts, Music and Theatre and Performance, you will share the creative outcomes of your collaborations in major public events.
