SPEECH III

In this course, students will continue their individual development of greater ownership, expression and embodiment of heightened (mostly Shakespeare’s) text. The objective of this course is for students to practice landing heightened text with honesty and clarity, uniting the Givens and the Imaginatives. “It’s not about making it right, it’s about making it ALIVE.” 

Students will:

• (Continue to) refine their articulation skills via a strong working knowledge of the IPA and corresponding Lexical Sets
• Dance along the fine line between control and freedom of their muscles of articulation in order to share complicated thoughts and speak heightened language with invisible technique
• Unpack and investigate texts in order to marry structure with meaning
• Interpret texts with Musiclarity – the musicality of the language supporting the clarity of the thought
• Play with passion, curiosity, specificity and humanity.
