Introduction to Movement Skills (Continuous Demonstration &amp; Viva)

Skills Assessment

The module will aid you to uncover the actor&#39;s capability to work with physical freedom, inventiveness and individuality via physical play, spatial relationships and motivated energy. You will receive formative feedback throughout the module, at a number of assessment points during the module, in preparation for summative assessments.

In the first part of this module, you will come to recognise the importance of the actor’s body in storytelling, encounter basic practitioner approaches, and applying these techniques in practice. You will work closely with others, recognising the importance of interaction, and explore physical expression according to differing performance styles. This strategy continues throughout the duration of the module.

For the conclusion of this module, you will explore movement and text as interdisciplinary skills, integrated as part of the actor’s preparation. You will create a short movement-based scene working with specific storytelling devices, working to a specific brief and for particular practitioner approaches. You will provide a Viva (or vlog), giving analysis and reasoning for the artistic choices generated in creating your scene.
