This subject applies acting methodologies, character development work, and script analysis to training exercises and interpretive rehearsal processes with professional directors. Students begin to place their artistic and technical practice in a professional context. In applying technical skills to an extended rehearsal process, public performance season and screen work, students develop advanced knowledge of the actor’s process in different performance contexts.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- embody the story of the play as an individual and an ensemble to create a coherent narrative;
- apply performance technique to screen;
- demonstrate active listening and appropriate performance energy to connect to self, space and audience while maintaining theatrical truth;
- engage physical and vocal skills to meet the demands of the text and production in performance environments.
