Amcanion cyffredinol

‘Performing for Stage and Screen’ allows’ students to encounter the focus practically on some of the key elements and techniques, which contribute to the process of actors training. From the psychological, physical to the vocal, students will explore a variety of acting and performing methods that contemporary directors use with in rehearsal rooms today as well as discovering key similarities and differences between performing for the stage and screen. Emphasis on the practical will be the key focus in laboratory performance settings to investigate individual character building as well as ensemble work. Students will be expected to explore by means of practical involvement, sharing performances in class settings as well as developing a character portfolio through out the module.

STUDENT FEEDBACK: Acting for Stage and Screen was a brilliant module with a lot of information presented. I really benefitted from looking at Screen acting. I’d recommend this side of the course for any students looking to make films and theatre. As a director, learning to communicate with actors is incredibly helpful, this module taught me how I wanted to be directed, and thus had an impact on my directing.
