What is intercultural understanding?Show answer
The course encourages drawing on drama from other cultures, places and times to enrich intercultural understanding. This means reading such work respectfully and on its own terms, recognising that conventions and meanings can differ across cultures, and being aware of your own position as a viewer. Intercultural understanding guards against judging unfamiliar work by inappropriate standards and opens up the range of what drama can be and do.
What is holding frameworks lightly?Show answer
A framework is a tool, not a cage. The strongest responses use a lens to illuminate a work without forcing every detail to fit. You can also bring more than one perspective to bear, comparing what each reveals. The aim is richer, better-supported interpretation, so a framework that distorts the work or ignores its evidence is being misused.
