Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Movement Students will develop the concepts and ideas surrounding physical theatre and movement and physicality in performance. The module will explore elements of physical theatre and of formal structured dance technique (including social and historical dance). The module will develop in the students an understanding of the integrated nature of physical movement in expression and physical story telling. The end of the module will culminate in the creation of a short chamber piece of movement theatre, which will be performed in front of a selected audience. Voice Building from their prior experience students will develop their voice through its application to a broader and more complex range of text based material including heightened, verse and poetic text, and the exploration of the voice for the media (TV and Radio). The activities will focus on precision, flexibility, and a more complex understanding of the relationship between the voice, meaning, intention, creativity and expressivity. Students will also be asked to explore the holistic nature of performance and integrate physicality into performance. The focus of this module will shift the student from class-based activity to performativity (including an exploration of different performance spaces and contexts).
