Course Content (Syllabus)
This module approaches the understanding and interpretation of the vocal performance process through theoretical and practice-based perspectives.
To enable an embodied experience of performance, not as final product but as a process of exploration and expression on both individual and group levels, the module utilizes two distinct oral traditions as points of departure: the Epirotic polyphony and Nigerian gospel music. However, students are encouraged to suggest repertoires from other traditions and/or from their own original compositions.
The module combines lectures, accompanied by audiovisual media, with performance practice based on existing, arranged and/or original material. This material may combine sound (structured song, vocal improvisation), body movement (fixed and changing kinetic patterns, dance) and text (prose/metrical).
The module is closely related to the music ensemble Omakoeion I, attendance of which is essential during the same academic semester (for further attendance requirements of this module, you may read the paragraph 'Prerequisites').
