Brief description
This module provides students with an opportunity to deepen their understanding and practice of communication and expression via embodied practices of voice and movement. Principally it offers an approach to a system of reading movement and structured approaches to creating performance through physical work. Alongside physical training and analysis of movement, voice and improvisation will be offered to deepen skills in confidence and finding nuance in performance.
