MUSTHEAT 2001 - Music Theatre Performance 2A

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

Dance: An emphasis on more advanced technical work is addressed along with a greater understanding of style, along with the encouragement of more rapid and accurate learning of basic choreographic combinations. Greater strength and flexibility is also addressed along with stylistic accuracy. Pas de deux continues with a focus on ensuring students are capable of dancing in harmony with a partner in different styles, and able to perform moves such as lifts and turns safely. Voice/Movement: Second year voice brings students to a practical awareness of the way they use themselves as actors: working towards greater physical freedom and relaxation; increased breath capacity and control; more effective resonance; increased pitch range; and greater articulatory agility. The second year of voice production is largely exercise oriented, focusing on heightened language while connecting to vocal presence and action. Character voice is the primary focus, while resonance, vocal placement and support continue to be addressed. Student?s connection to language, the importance of oracy, the deeper need of words and rhetoric, and awareness of the three-dimensional physical muscularity of body/vocal tract and language/image. Using Shakespeare?s text, students will learn to trust the instincts and needs of the character rather than the intellectual presentation of the language, poetry and style of the play. Acting: This course builds on the foundational skills achieved throughout the first year of study by focussing on the issue of performance 'style'. Specifically, Non-Naturalistic text - material with a strong sense of heightened theatricality and overt poeticism - and is designed to increase the musical theatre performer's ability to adapt the performing self to the demands of text in a heightened style. Students will be asked to explore text from a variety of stylistic genres, examining each with a mind to formulating work methods and rehearsal strategies that might accommodate performance demands.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
