Phases I and II come together in Phase III, and will give
students the opportunity to apply their skills within the context of a
play.; A full text will be studied within the class, and students will be
expected to bring the techniques they have worked with thus far to the
process. Although independent work will continue to be
encouraged, Phase III offers students a chance to work with direction.;
They will explore the mechanics of blocking, how to make
“good” and ;better; choices, how to use the story of
a play to develop character, and how to work as part of a cast.; Students
will have the chance to work on and to truthfully interpret several
different characters and scenes.
The Movement component will progress from Phase II to become more
specific in Phase III, allowing students to explore the development of
character both through movement and gesture. Imagination and
awareness of the body will continue to be stressed as students become
increasingly adept at using their bodies to communicate with the
audience.
The
Voice work also progresses in much the same way. Emphasis will
be placed on synthesising previously developed skills in an effort to
communicate thought, intention, and character to the audience.
