Action learning, archiving and avant-garde theatre

This paper outlines a project in which BA Drama students are collaborating to produce a multimedia archive of their research, preparation and presentation of an experimental theatre production. The students worked with an avant-garde theatre director to collectively create a theatrical work, performed in May 2012. Students are engaged in this project on three levels: in performance roles; in production roles; and in digital archiving roles. It is the last of these that forms the focus of this paper
