Abstract

The review of BA Applied Theatre (BAAT) at Griffith University on Mount Gravatt campus was carried out at the end of 2002. The students who responded generally gave the degree a positive satisfaction rating. The article looks at the relationship between the degree program and the concept of applied theatre. It identifies that there is a dissonance between the perceptions of the students undertaking the program and the considered aims of applied theatre. The students' responses indicate that they expect standard theatre training with facilities to match. Although it is important for the students to encounter theatre in order to develop the theatre skills necessary to explore applied theatre, it is hoped that they will be directing themselves towards applied theatre projects on graduation.

Los estudiantes que respondieron generalmente otorgaron a esta carrera una evaluaci㮠satisfactoriamente positiva. El art�lo contempla la relaci㮠entre el programa del curso y el concepto de teatro aplicado.

Las respuestas de los alumnos denotan expectativas de un entrenamiento estᮤar en teatro en un ambiente acorde. Aunque es importante que los alumnos se encuentren con el teatro para desarrollar las habilidades necesarias para explorar el teatro aplicado, se tienen expectativas de que se dirijan a proyectos de teatro aplicado despu鳠de graduados.
