Requisites: Pre-requisite: [Module CLP09132] Voice and Movement 2

Your classes will continue to consider closely the work of selected, specific theories of voice and movement theorists/ practitioners (which might include, amongst others, Linklater, Berry, Stanislavski, Laban, Michael Chekhov, Suzuki, Rodenburg, Meisner, Alexander, Feldenkrais, or LeCoq techniques). You will explore increasingly more complex ideas and approaches building on your previous knowledge. You will research in depth the work of one of these practitioners whose techniques you find appropriate for your own further enhancement. Leading from this, you will develop and lead a group workshop designed to introduce your peers in a practical way to the work of your chosen theorist. Along with various technique-based and improvised exercises, you will be working with short texts and excerpts. Through a variety of exercises you will develop your emotional, imaginative and intellectual responses. You will work toward acquiring skills in facilitation and leading your peer group.The overall aim in these classes will be to help you further deepen your knowledge of a variety of techniques that can help you build physical and vocal expression and stamina, and to enhance concentration and imagination in a variety of complex contexts.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Demonstrate a critical and detailed understanding of one or two established approaches to physical, vocal, and imaginative freedom, and systematically research, document, and contextualise their principles and practices.

LO2: Effectively communicate and critically evaluate complex creative ideas while working autonomously and collaboratively to address creative challenges and support successful ensemble outcomes.

LO3: Apply creative and original approaches to the resolution of performance problems by evaluating artistic choices and using informed theatrical judgement within practical performance contexts.

LO4: Analyse and evaluate a range of physical and vocal warm-up and conditioning methodologies, and apply this understanding by confidently demonstrating and leading selected practices.

LO5: Integrate and apply technical skills and performance strategies coherently within practical and performance-based applications.
