The focus of this course is developing and strengthening the individual singer's connection to song, freedom and repertoire with a focus on the physical and external potential of the actor. The voice will learn to adapt to a variety of styles, while deepening the actor's connection to his/her inner life. Attention will also be paid to the composition style, intention and notation. We are looking to find meaningful interplay of content and form, and increase specificity of thought and authenticity of experience. Ensemble scene work will be explored, transitioning the individual singer-actor from text to song and a larger whole. Different eras and styles within the music theatre canon will be explored. 3.0 credits. Fall Semester
