ACT1002 The Role of the Actor
WESTERN AUSTRALIAN ACADEMY OF PERFORMING ARTS
Credit Points: 15
 
Description:

The skills of the actor are brought together and integrated into performance. The actor is required to synthesise their knowledge of acting, movement and voice into an effective process and performance. The unit uses a programme of projects: plays, scene work and creative work that are analysed, rehearsed and performed to both develop the students’ acting skills and examine the role of the actor in an ensemble. The student applies the codes of standard theatre practice to their process of working within the ensemble, which reflects industry standards. After each performance the students will reflect on and analyse their work and discuss the future direction of their acting.
