Description of module content:

This 40-credit, 2-trimester module is designed to deepen your knowledge of a variety of techniques that can help you find freedom, fluidity and ease of expression physically, vocally, and imaginatively. The module is designed to enhance and support the practical work you will be doing elsewhere within the course, and as material increases in complexity over the year, the technical work in this module will respond to that complexity. Your progress will be the subject of significant and continual communication with the course tutors and this module will require that you demonstrate initiative in research, presentation and leadership. You will focus on physical and vocal expression (both sung and spoken), and will explore selected theories of voice, movement, or singing theorists/practitioners (which might include, amongst others, Linklater, Berry, Rodenburg, Alexander, Houseman, Estill, Carey).

Learning Outcomes for module:

1. Critically explore and engage with a variety of specific approaches to finding physical, vocal (both speech and singing), and imaginative freedom, and fluidity of expression.
2. Critically reflect on and communicate complex ideas with peers and practitioners from other disciplines to create cohesive collaborative work
3. Draw on a range of critical and analytical resources to create and sustain engaging performances
4. Synthesise and analyse critical feedback to underpin your continued technical progress in performance.
