Course Details

Preparing the Performer (10 ects.)

Preparing the Performer aims to equip learners with an understanding of the importance of the voice and body within drama. Each section within the module is designed to enable learners to demonstrate proficiency in their knowledge of the form, style, aesthetics, and technicalities of the discipline. The module is in two parts: the first deals with the preparation of The Voice. The second part, The Body, is further divided into Dance, Mime and Mask.

The New LSMD Examination Syllabi (2023) plays an important role in the delivery of the content of this certificate and will allow existing LSMD teachers and tutors to refresh their existing skills while gaining a more in-depth understanding of the examination syllabi. This certificate has both practical and written elements.

The assessment strategy for this certificate has a practical and participative focus. Learners also engage in reflective practice and writing through the Process Folio an Integrated Programme Assessment piece (IPA)
