-Mastery of spoken and singing voice techniques.
-Mastery of expressive techniques of the body in movement.
-Attitude in rehearsal, willingness to work as a team.
-Premiere of the production.

Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
To pass this course, attendance at 90% of classes is mandatory.
As this is an experiential subject based on group work, repeated lack of punctuality (maximum 3 sessions) or failure to keep up with assigned work (songs, choreography, or learned texts) will also be considered equivalent to Not Submitted (always preceded by a warning/notice from the teaching staff).

Single Assessment:
This course does not offer a single-assessment option.
Its experiential and cumulative nature makes it a learning space that must be experienced and assessed on a continuous basis.
As in a professional stage production, this subject requires participation grounded in commitment and dialogue with the teaching team responsible for it, both in the feedback given before and after each preparatory exercise, and in the final phase of rehearsals and performance of a production.

Minimum requirements to pass:
In order to pass the course, a minimum grade of 5.0 must be obtained.

Mentorship

As far as possible, tutorials will be held in person.
Tutorials can be requested either by email to the lecturer or through the ERAM intranet, in the Tutorial Request section.

Communication and interaction with students

The usual communication channels with students will be in class, by email, and through Moodle. In the event that teaching needs to move to a blended or fully online format, communication and interaction will be intensified through virtual classrooms, Moodle, and notifications via the ERAM intranet.
