About this Unit
This unit provides an introduction to the practices of live performance through foundational studies in acting. Development of acting skills through a sense of self in bodily expression, creative imagination and effective communication are part of all live performance. Workshop experience will be augmented by research into acting theories and traditions. This unit draws on practices and concepts of acting formed in the 20th century that circulate in live performance practice in the current Australian and international context.
