Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
The module is structured around the development and presentation of one piece of performance and students will be assessed through the ability to work collaboratively on a number of levels working towards a specific brief. The module requires students to apply their learning through the engagement of audition processes; workshops experiences and on-spot improvisatory methods used to develop and evolve performance roles. Students will therefore be assessed both on their ability to process studio direction with a clear emphasis placed upon preparing the physical body for choreographic challenges, and the transference of these skills developed within the final performance. At this level students should be prepared to transfer the fundamental technical skills and stylistic interpretation into becoming more versatile. New genres and styles will continue to be introduced through a broad range of masterclasses and aerial skills classes.

Module Overview:
The Public Performance Project module provides students with a public performance opportunity through a simulated professional process. It promotes the varied methods of creating and devising for live performance through a process of collaboration. Students will make use of their knowledge from the Healthy Dancer 1 and 2 modules to integrate a blend of key body conditioning practices that work to prepare them for the challenges of choreographic exploration and professional performance. Aerial dance training and a broad range of specialist masterclasses enhances students development across the academic year.
