MUSTHEAT 2002 - Music Theatre Performance 2B

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2024

Dance: This course extends skills and techniques learnt in the first three semesters. The dance stream continues incorporating techniques of various dance and physical theatre forms. The dance styles taught will include: jazz/contemporary dance, tap, classical ballet and pas de deux. Dance as a soloist, collaborative creation and variety in style and form will feature more distinctively. Skills covered will include stretching techniques, turning, isolation and complementary movement as well as the interpretation of various historic and contemporary dance pieces to an advanced level. Voice/Movement: Students continue to integrate neutral awareness and physical release within space, time, body and text. An exploration of a variety of texts as a means to integrate an authentic body/voice connection to naturalistic and heightened language. A sound theoretical and practical grasp of voice and speech along with text analysis underpin this process and students continue to develop appropriate technical skills that support a spontaneous, flexible and muscular voice. The student actor will develop a rigorous daily voice practice regime that is designed to support work being undertaken in rehearsals and presentations. This course introduces a variety of naturalistic texts as a means to integrate an authentic body/voice connection to naturalistic language. Acting: This Course builds on the foundational skills achieved throughout the first three semesters of study by focussing on the issue of performance 'style'. Students will be asked to explore text with a mind to formulating a range of work methods and personal rehearsal strategies pertaining to the specific style of naturalism. The course will begin with an examination of theatre forms developed in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, primarily in the mode of naturalism, before moving forward to a study of more contemporary material. The focus will be on both deepening an understanding of the possibilities of performance and further developing the range and repertoire of personal rehearsal strategies available to the musical theatre performer.

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.
