This introductory module continues the non-text based work of integrating the body, voice, imagination and the process of encouraging a sense of truth in acting and developing skills to create truthful behaviour on stage.
Physicalising inner experiences, working in space and use of the fourth wall are all explored and the actor continues to work as him/her self, living under fictional circumstances, what 'if I were ...', using the imagination to develop 'inner motives' and justifications for actions carried out (using yourself as the material for your art).
The actor continues work on the basic elements that constitute an actor's inner creative state including work on objectives and given circumstances, sensory work and emotion memory, faith and a sense of truth, communion and improvisation.
The learner explores openness, availability, responsiveness, and sensitivity within non-text based performance work and the ability to work through the other person.
The learner is encouraged to take risks, both imaginatively and physically, and be responsive and open to those they work and collaborate with.
Learning and teaching methods consist primarily of practice-based workshops.
Students are assigned ongoing practical based work, research and observations and written work outside of direct contact hours.
Students must read the list of books under the essential reading list for discussion and references to during the practical based workshops.
