This module will provide a practical setting for the application of theory specific to the interpretation of heightened dramatic texts and complex language.

You will explore the relationship between acting and psychology, acting and emotion, acting and character, acting and cognitive processes, and the many ways in which traditional theories of acting have responded to the question of how actors interpret, prepare and perform heightened dramatic text. Techniques for inspiring imagination and play will remain at the heart of the work, and you will be extending your ability to create acting that is engaging, believable and sustainable in a variety of challenging and historically varied texts.

1. Apply and integrate a range of physical, vocal and acting skills to develop an imaginative performance that demonstrates ability to interpret heightened/complex text at a professional level.
2. Articulate a sound theoretical approach to preparing, executing and sustaining performance choices when working with complex language and heightened style.
3. Exercise appropriate artistic judgement when working with fellow students and on your own.
4. Demonstrate a sound grasp of the interplay of theory and practice in the work of an actor and to underpin your work with relevant observation and research.
