This unit prepares the student for a strong physical foundation to their movement work as a performer. The classes demand a dexterous and physical confidence that allows for inventive movement in scenes of strong dramatic content. It therefore explores the theatrical demands of heightened text and dynamic theatre. Exercises in physical expressiveness as soloist and chorus, demands a strong physical connection to text and imagery. The unit also explores the technique of mime and the student creates a solo work that requires attention to story telling, dramaturgy, editing, stagecraft and a stylised physical performance. More advanced classes in dance also assist in forming the able bodied and autonomous physical actor.
