This course introduces the fundamentals of voice and movement with an emphasis on identifying habits and tension that hinder the actor's physical and vocal expression. Students develop new practices that free the natural voice and increase awareness of the voice and body as inter- related entities that are essential to the actor's ability to communicate on stage. Physical awareness, breath, resonance, articulation, kinesthetic response, and responsible use of the body as it pertains to working as a member of an ensemble will be explored.
