Module Content

Outline Syllabus:This module consolidates and develops aspects of voice, movement, acting and production skills already introduced though rehearsal leading to performance of extant text. Students will be set research tasks relevant to production and are expected to complete the ‘Actor’s homework’ in preparation for context time in workshop/rehearsal. This leads to performance which is an opportunity for students to experience and subsequently evaluate how the constituent elements of the performance mode affect the process as developed on the rehearsal floor.
