Music Theatre Acting 1 (MTACT1001)

"This course is divided into two strands:Acting: The Acting strand is designed to open creative pathways for music theatre performers whilst providing them with an understanding of basic acting processes. It examines foundational performance elements. Each element becomes the focus of intense studio-based exercises that allow students to experience dimensions of performance and to learn about those experiences. Exercises are graded from early improvisational work to more structured activities, where scenic features become the focus of examination. Voice: The voice strand is designed to introduce students to modes of working with the spoken voice within a dramatic context. It will cover techniques related to posture and alignment, the embodiment of the voice, breathing, phonation and accent work. Exercises are designed to engage the actor in the requirements of professional level performances and foster freedom of expression. Students will develop the capacity to draw on a wide vocal range to ensure a rich, flexible and expressive voice and learn to release unnecessary tension. "
