This Year Two MFA Acting (International) module gives students the opportunity to work within a repertory company format to present a fully-staged production of a script in English with an emphasis on stylised or non- naturalistic text.
The aims of the module are:
- to allow students to gain practical experience of work in a repertory company structure
- to allow students to apply and extend their skills in performance, specifically focussing on the linguistic and stylistic demands of the texts and production
- to enable students to develop advanced strategies for meeting the specific demands of acting in a professional context, including care of the voice and body and management of interpersonal dynamics
By the end of the module students will be able to demonstrate:
- the ability to work both collaboratively and independently in creating one or more characters in performance
- creative and technical skills to realise a character in rehearsal and performance
- the ability to express the character clearly, fluently and with appropriate attention to theatrical style and interpretation in spoken English
- an understanding of the personal, interpersonal and physical demands of continuing work in a professional company
