What is the practitioner requirement?
Show answer
The dissertation must engage with at least one influential theatre practitioner. This is not a decorative reference: the practitioner's theory or practice should do real work in the argument, whether as the subject of the study or as a lens on a play or production. Substantive engagement with a practitioner is one of the things the marks specifically reward.
