LEARNING OUTCOMES: Learners will demonstrate an understanding of a variety of physical theatre’s forms, individual movement vocabulary, and technique through performance.

• They will be able to develop skills and techniques associated with physical  and mime theatre (physical control, balance, breathing, lifting and catching, taking and placing weight, use of levels and height).

• They could develop a role (character, rhythm, dynamics, interaction, physical comedy, spontaneity, improvisation, spatial awareness, timing, style).

• They will develop physical and artistic self-awareness, a broad knowledge of the genesis of mime theatre and of the significant models and strategies employed in its practice and integrate theory into the physical practice.

• They will possess a developing knowledge of the students own physical, intellectual and spiritual resources and an understanding of how these may be developed and applied within the practice of mime theatre by individual or group performances and presentations.

They will demonstrate the ability to “read” a physical theatre performance in a critically informed and confident manner, to interrogate the generation of meanings which occur and to respond to the creative challenges.
