Developing Performance Skills

Physicality, text, sound, music- these are some of the areas touched upon while developing skills in performance. The emphasis is on building a vocabulary of performance techniques. These techniques can include breathing, movement improvisation, and voice modulation, as well as exercises in awareness and musicality. These ā€˜tools of performance’ can be drawn from local sub-continental performance traditions as well as from contemporary global performance phenomena. The course will proceed in a series of ā€˜etudes’ or studies which will result in small performance ā€˜moments’ or phrases. Some of the coursework will be based on texts and scripts to be chosen afresh each semester. Other coursework can be based on non-textual concepts.
No previous experience is required. This course is mandatory for all students wanting to pursue a minor in performing arts.
