Aims
This module aims to achieve a deeper engagement with technical practitioner approaches, with the demonstration of integrated physical, vocal and acting approaches, as you tackle technical and emotionally challenging works. You will begin to select appropriate technical principles to realise the requirements of this material, using independent historical, cultural, and contextual research, as well as collaborative interpersonal working methods to bring intensive scene-work to life.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
You will take your technical engagement with the trinity of acting, dance and singing disciplines deeper, harnessing 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 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. You will undertake an intensive project to integrate physical and vocal transformations, including emotional and psychological depth and meaning, by engaging with challenging legitimate 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 trinity of interdisciplinary acting, singing and choreographed dance skills is core to the module delivery.
