Acting

voice and movement

The voice component of the Voice/Movement module will help students to develop an unrestricted, well-placed, and articulated voice, powered by the breath and free of habitual tension. Students will work with tutors to harness the potential of their own voice and explore the ways in which it can be used in response to a range of dramatic texts.

The movement component will enable students to take responsibility for their own body through an informed and balanced approach to the physical demands of professional training. The risk of injury will thereby be reduced, providing a secure foundation for a professional career. Further to this, students will learn how to move freely and easily in a manner appropriate to the demands of the performance material and will learn how to assimilate basic choreographed steps.
