Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
You will take your technical engagement with the trinity of acting, dance and singing disciplines deeper, including a further honing of your instrumental and instrumentation skills. You will harness advanced approaches, working also with voice and accent, as well as notions of character and characteristics. These interdisciplinary approaches will further consolidate your understanding of actor musicianship within musical theatre and acting principles as you apply these notions across a canon of established and respected works in a directed presentation of dramatic scenes. Acting through song provides a continuation of scene-into-song studies to reinforce and develop technique. Dance focuses more closely on ballet technique, and you will begin to explore a variety of styles from jazz to ballroom. Singing aims to identify and address technical issues, tone production and resonance; voice sessions also examine accent, speech and text. Instrumental sessions with further develop your knowledge of instrumentation and interpretation. You will undertake an intensive project to integrate physical and vocal transformations, including emotional and psychological depth and meaning, by engaging with challenging Twentieth Century musical practitioner approaches and material. In addition, you will consolidate your technical knowledge by adjusting your learned principles for screenwork, exploring technical adaptations according to different mediums and performance contexts for comparison and to expand your technical vocabulary and understanding. The integration of acting, singing, dance and instrumentation is core to the module delivery.
