You will conceive, plan and execute a musical performance, focusing on conception, actualisation and presentation as a performer*, conception, actualisation and capture as an engineer/producer, or conception, actualisation, and adaptation as a composer. Throughout the module you will be utilising your technical and theoretical tools independently and creatively as a means of establishing a style that is unique to you as an artist and/or creative practitioner. You will enhance your leadership and communication skills, taking in to account the relevant demands of your specialisms.
Bi-weekly tutorials and/or workshops will support the development of your specialist skills, focusing on goals you have set in negotiation with your tutor(s). These will alternate with seminars or workshops, focusing on communication and presentation, which incorporate student led exploration in sharing progress, ideas, and providing peer guidance and feedback.
