This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop techniques for integrating singing with the acting and dancing skills required of musical theatre performers. Moments of dramatic intensity are often expressed in songs so an ability to move from spoken to sung voice is essential, along with the physical stamina required to sustain a role that includes dancing. At this level supervision and guidance are provided during practice sessions but individuals are expected to work independently on experimenting with ways to sustain a role and convey complexity of meaning by integrating vocal and movement skills. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.
