BA W441 Acting and Contemporary Theatre
In this module you will prepare your final self-created Showcase projects. Working in groups that have emerged naturally within the year group over the three years of your training together, you and your fellow students will decide the form you want your final Showcase projects to take. All projects are supervised either by the Head of Course or by a visiting professional director but their input is intended to be mainly advisory - you are expected to take control of your own original work.
Students will write, devise, produce, direct, act in, manage and market their own work to a professional standard, putting all their learning and skills into the realisation of self-created projects, some of which will test the boundaries of existing contemporary theatre practice.
The Showcase performance is given to an invited audience of industry professionals, e.g. directors, casting directors, agents, normally in a professional London theatre venue. The Showcase is intended to provide you with opportunities to make professional connections that will enhance your career as an artist and performer.
In this module technical skills work is fully integrated with the work of preparing the self-created projects for performance. Voice, movement and singing tutors will work in rehearsals and workshops with groups as necessary, depending on the form and content of the work they are creating.
By the end of the module you will have produced a piece of professional standard original work. Several former groups of students have gone on to show the work they created in this module at professional theatre venues, for example at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
