ET404 European Plays in Performance 2
This module expands and develops the skills acquired in module ET401 by broadening the performance vocabulary for creating a text-based performance. It will explore elements such as ritual within theatre and the notion of theatricality through an in-depth practical and dramaturgical analysis of a given play script. Having encountered contrasting techniques and theatre practices in previous modules, from psychological realism to montage and grotesque, the focus of study will be on the selection and synthesis of appropriate techniques to creatively perform the text.
The module includes an intensive period of practical work.
In parallel with the work on the text, you will be engaging with performance preparation sessions on voice, to raise your understanding and awareness of the voice as an important tool in performance.
