That's good if the performances are now used as an assessment tool. I didn't realise that - it'd give the course a bit of a more practical edge. I very much agree with you on the "if you have a fall back you will fall back" thing. That also happens to be my perspective on it.
Ummmm, Notre Dame has a three year "Bachelor Of Performing Arts (Theatre Artist)" course. You do a (bulky) practical unit each semester which features a stack of guest workshops with experienced practitioners and in second year an extra unit per semester of "Integrating Arts And Business", a pair of very useful business units. On top of this you do a PAM unit (a la ECU) per semester of Vocal Technique, Theory Of Acting/Directing, Stage Movement etc taught by WAAPA staff. The focus at Notre Dame is mostly on devised work but you can build up skills in other areas. Most students learn basic lighting, sound, stage managing and set design/construction skills through practical experience in performances (which are assessed).
It's quite cool. I think.
Only downside is that your choice of minor is restricted to Literature or Communications, but that's only one unit a semester and it doesn't suck too much. And the core units suck too - Ethics, Communications (how to write essays... a particularly painfully boring unit if you've already studied at uni before), Philosophy and Theology (a particularly painful unit if you ain't catholic). Oh yeah, and Notre Dame has too many Law and Business students who all dress the same and give the place a horrible reputation as a conservative imagination vacuum. :) And pretty much the most active political group on campus (save the quasi-Guild) is the Young Liberals. It's OK. You can blame the Law students for that.
By the way, I'm the guy from Notre Dame who you met at the circus fest last year and who bugged you in the Curtin tav a couple of months back after my band played a gig by the way. Just so you know... :)
Peace,
Tomás
