Description	The aim of this module is to combine learning in the contextual and technical modules to begin to explore the necessary requirements of an interdisciplinary performer. Students will be given the opportunity to perform within a group setting and learn the basic principles of choreographing a dance solo. Integrated Performance classes run over 2 semesters and students will develop the integration of singing and dance, laying the foundations for future ensemble work. Choreography classes are studied in the 2nd semester and combine elements of dance history with the practical application of choreographic models. Structured movement improvisation and formal creative movement tasks culminate in the creation of a solo for another dancer.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate understanding of the integration of dance and song; Demonstrate understanding of choreographic processes; Demonstrate the ability to sustain individual harmony lines whilst executing a choreographed routine; Demonstrate understanding of performance skills in dance and musical theatre.
