This subject introduces students to the actor’s process via scene work and contemporary rehearsal techniques. Working within an ensemble, actors will explore historical, emerging, collaborative and mediated theatrical paradigms through practical exploration of extant text in a variety of studio contexts. Students begin development of their own training methodology via a survey of intense staff led training exercises and interpretive rehearsal processes.
Intended learning outcomes
- Develop skills in acting, movement and voice in performance contexts.
- Develop effective capacities to assert self, work autonomously and collaboratively within an ensemble
- Develop aesthetic, technical and creative frameworks in a range of performance applications
