This course examines basic acting principles and practices such as focus, energy, tension, commitment, and presence in relation to the actor's voice and body. It explores theories and processes of individual and collaborative preparation for acting on stage, engaging in presentational and representational modes of performance. You will learn key aspects of acting such as gesture, action and objective, rhythm, emotion and motivation to develop an awareness of acting vocabularies that inform choices and capacities for being an actor. The course emphasises individual and shared ownership of the process, drawing from contextually grounded approaches to actor training that involve physical and vocal improvisation, critical discussion, reflective observation, rehearsals and performance.
