This unit provides an overview of stage skills as they relate to vocal performance. Students are introduced to the historical and cultural conventions of various stage settings and are taught the specific ways the voice and body are used to express meaning for a range of audiences. Students are taught the basics of embodiment and movement for the stage as is appropriate for their style of vocal performance. Students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to rehearse a short performance in their indicated style for a final concert. Students work collaboratively to create an ensemble to understand their voice and body and how it communicates onstage to an audience through voice, body and story.
