<p>This intermediate unit is designed to prepare students for rehearsing and performing spoken and sung text. Students will learn a variety of strategies for working with selected written texts, beginning with a fundamental grounding in text analysis: how a text may be examined for relevant information; how this information can be ordered and translated into rehearsal strategies, and how it may be used in performance. Through practice, students will investigate the stylistic tenets of Naturalism. They will acquire a working vocabulary of terms appropriate to the form. They will develop personal rehearsal techniques designed to assist them in evolving text-based scene-work. These techniques will be developed and applied within the context of performance. It is expected that students integrate knowledge, skills and values gained in other studio classes into these performances where and as required.</p>
