Module Content
Outline Syllabus:In Semester 1 students will receive a series of weekly workshop sessions, introducing key theories and practices of voice, movement and acting, which they will examine and explore through individual and group exercises. At the end of the semester (post Christmas), students will have a free project opportunity to work in ensemble groups to devise/develop a short piece of independently produced performance.
In Semester 2, students will continue with basic technical skills development and be introduced to further skills which might include work as an chorus/ensemble, more complex multi-character scene work, mask/clowning, and social song and dance.
