<p>This unit progresses performance skills developed by students in Acting Projects 1 and 2. At this advanced level of study, learning will focus on two primary performance strands: Screen Acting and Small Ensemble Projects. Taken together, both strands constitute an in-depth practice-based performative study across mediums. In Screen Acting, students will investigate circumstances governing film performance. In Small Ensemble Projects, students work intensely and collaboratively to produce full stage productions. Material for Small Ensemble Projects may be drawn from a broad range of theatrical genres including musicals, cabaret, self-devised works or pre-existing play texts. Students may be asked to participate in production-related processes and activities.</p>

Taken together, both strands constitute an in-depth practice-based performative study across mediums. In Screen Acting, students will investigate circumstances governing film performance, from terminology to space and equipment. They will develop a thorough working knowledge of acting processes involved in developing performance for camera and apply this by creating high-level screen performance. In Small Ensemble Projects, students work intensely and collaboratively to produce full stage productions. They acquire an in-depth understanding of constituent dramaturgical elements, rehearsal techniques and how to translate skills acquired during rehearsals into high level stage performance. Material for Small Ensemble Projects may be drawn from a broad range of theatrical genres including musicals, cabaret, self-devised works or pre-existing play texts. Students may be asked to participate in production-related processes and activities.</p>
