What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content

Welcome to ARTSW302, a work­-related project paper in which any student studying for a BA or BMus is able to complete a university­ based project with a focus on a particular professional ecology connected to arts disciplines (employing relevant skills, practices, praxis and performance). Projects provide an opportunity for students to either reflect on key issues attached to the creative industries or simulate aspects of professional practice (e.g. professional writing, research, or creative practice).

The University of Waikato is equipped with professional venues, facilities and experienced staff who are able to mentor students in research and professional conduct associated with a broad range of arts practices (performance, praxis, and application of professional and research skills). Students will develop a project in which they will be able to reflect on professional work practices (e.g. writing for different audiences, researching different aspects of professional practice in the creative industries), or simulate a professional work task or event (e.g. organise an arts event or produce work for public consumption). Projects could involve practice­-led and practice­ based research relating to particular processes, approaches, techniques, and applications of arts practice, knowledge, research and performance. ARTSW302 permits students to either research, or simulate work­related practices associated with arts­-related vocations.

There are no timetabled events for this paper, as it is individually supervised. The regularity and structure of supervision will be agreed with supervisor.

This is an independent study work ­integrated learning (WIL) paper that is completed under the supervision of a staff member from the School of Arts. This paper is open to all students taking a BA and BMus with the necessary pre­requisites (ARTSC110, ARTSC105 or INTLC101).

While students are able to enrol on the paper online, there are some necessary steps (outlined below) that need to be fulfilled before enrolment is finalised: 1) select the programme under which ARTSW302 will be completed and 2) secure a supervisor to support and assess the WIL experience.

STEP 1 ­ Decide on your programme. As WIL is part of List C in your degree structure, you do not need to study WIL in the same disciplinary area as your Major. Select the most appropriate programme to supervise the nature of the project you wish to complete.

Where to go:

Screen and Media Studies ­ audio­visual production, photography, print media/photobook/photozine, interactive design, script­writing, game design, animation, documentary, producer, media communication, visual journalism, etc.

International Languages and Cultures ­ translation, interpreter, cultural events, inter­cultural communication, cultural guides, trans­ national projects/productions, language consultant & research, product localisation, etc.

English ­ creative writing, archive and historical research, proofreading, social media management, technical writing, travel and food writing, critic/reviewer (cultural events, performances, releases), editor and content manager, etc.

Music ­ composition for media (film, animation, television, radio, games), live performance and accompaniment, music festivals & events, DJ, music critic/reviewer, personnel manager, sound mixing and mastering, sound technician or engineer, talent representation, etc.

Linguistics ­ lexicographer, computational linguistics, speech and language therapy, languages teaching, forensic linguists, technical writer, copy editor, proof reader, communications, etc.

Theatre & Dance ­ performance, production advertising & promotion, arts administration and management, stage manager, choreography, dramaturg, stylist, designer, etc.

STEP 2 ­ Make an appointment to see a WIL Advisor to ascertain if you have the necessary prerequisites and experience to complete a WIL in the area of your choice.

Who to see? Our WIL Advisors are:

Screen and Media Studies ­ Dr Rodrigo Hill, Room I.4.16, e­mail: rodrigo.hill@waikato.ac.nz

International Languages and Cultures ­ Dr Maria Galikowski, e­mail: maria.galikowski@waikato.ac.nz

English ­ Catherine Chidgey, e­mail: catherine.chidgey@waikato.ac.nz

Music ­ Dr Luca Manghi (instrumental), Kirstin Darragh (voice), e­mail: luca.manghi@waikato.ac.nz, kirstin.darragh@waikato.ac.nz

Theatre & Dance ­ Dr Declan Patrick, Room I.4.13, e­mail: declan.patrick@waikato.ac.nz

STEP 3 ­ Your WIL Advisor will suggest potential supervisors for you to approach. You will need to obtain a supervisor's signature to complete your enrolment. You will receive a School of Arts approval form via e­mail when you first enrol on the paper. If you do not receive an approval form, obtain one from the Student Advice Centre, Ground Floor J Block. When you have a supervisor's agreement and signature, return the form to the Student Advice Centre, Ground Floor, J Block. Your enrolment will then be complete.
