Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
This module requires your critical and cultural research into a significant boundary-breaking musical work, practitioner or text and your interpretation of these concepts for a brand-new performance project. You will realise these approaches whilst working with a professional practitioner to realise this material for a staged live performance. You will unearth new discoveries in this material, working at the very cutting-edge of performance practice to generate fresh, new, and ground-breaking perspectives. Your personal actor’s process will require both interpretation and adjustment according to working methods, testing your interdisciplinary approach and ability to work both autonomously and as a company member with efficiency and invention. In addition, you will critique these performance concepts, analyse audience reception, and measure your engagement as a company member. The trinity of interdisciplinary acting, singing and choreographed dance skills is core to the module delivery, as well as personal and interpersonal collaborative practice.
