<p>This unit builds on the foundation of practice developed in Foundations Studio 1 and Foundations Studio 2.The human design as the central organizing principle is key to this exploration. Students continue to explore the notion of psychophysical integration in speaking and singing, through a series of exercises and projects designed to liberate the performer from the restrictive habits and tensions that prevent freedom of expression. Students will discover how to: work from a place of engaged neutrality; build and refine skills in and awareness of physical and vocal freedom; develop a theoretical and practical grasp of vocal anatomy; play creatively and freely within vocal ensembles; perform a variety of sung and spoken texts.</p>

New
<p>Students explore, in a practice-based way, how integrative vocal methods enhance singing and speaking. They will participate in class performance activities and projects that make links between process-based work and performance outcomes. The focus will be on verbal and musical accuracy, maintaining an independent harmonic line in ensemble singing; comprehensive investigation into, and preparation of songs and texts; workshopping songs and texts; giving and receiving of constructive feedback. Topics may include: Introduction to voice for screen, Theatrical and musical genres, Introduction to accents, Solo singing, Choral singing, Heightened language, Shakespeare sonnets and songs.</p>
