This module will provide practical workshop sessions for exploring the application of theory to acting in recorded media. In collaborative settings, working with increasingly challenging material, you will explore the different demands of screen acting and your relationship with, and awareness of the camera. You will consider 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 prepare and perform. Techniques for inspiring imagination and play will continue to be at the heart of the work, and you will be enhancing your ability to create acting that is engaging, believable and sustainable for screen.You will be choosing scenes to perform with a scene partner that will reflect the growing complexity in your work and evidence the input of the practitioner study and feedback on your work up to that time of the trimester. From weeks 9 – 12 your work will culminate in rehearsals and location shooting of your chosen scene, where you will act as both performer and crew on the shoot.

LO1: Demonstrate a practical ability to apply theoretical approaches to preparing, executing and sustaining performance choices in recorded media.
