Aims
This module aims to introduce you to historic performance traditions, styles, and genres. You will begin to understand form and performance practice appropriate to the interpretation and realisation of challenging works, requiring contextual research and analysis of stylistic approaches, genre tropes and their technical demands.

Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
This module presents the opportunity to mine historic performance traditions, analysing forms and practice to interpret and recontextualise classic, Broadway and heightened musical works for a contemporary audience. You now engage your interdisciplinary acting, dance and singing processes to assimilate the skills and techniques required to realise challenging works, engaging with broad and expansive physical expression, vocal musicality, including verse, metre, and rhythm, as well as intellectual and emotional depth. You may be tested on the application of these skills across a variety of performance mediums. You will measure your ability to meet these requirements via self-management and interpersonal collective company processes. The trinity of interdisciplinary acting, singing and choreographed dance skills is core to the module delivery, as well as personal and interpersonal collaborative practice.
