Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
In this module you will begin to advance your technical knowledge as you consolidate practitioner approaches in application to a variety of mediums, styles, and genres of performance. You will study non-naturalistic performance, potentially spanning mixed-media works, involving A/V and audio, or stripped-back works that embrace Epic or Poor Theatre approaches to the craft. Projects capture alternative performance mediums, such as screen and audio works, as well as ‘laboratory’ exploration of integrated performance styles. These projects will allow you to formulate a personal and independent working process applicable to diverse performance demands. You will analyse critical and cultural perspectives in studied material, as well as manage the fundamentals of collaborative working ethics to unite personal technical processes with performance outputs. The trinity of interdisciplinary acting, singing and choreographed dance skills is core to the module delivery, as well as personal and interpersonal collaborative practice.
