Topic description
This topic explores the powerful effect of music in the creative and performing arts. It asks questions, such as: How do we perceive music? Why can music make us want to dance with happiness or cry with sadness? Does music always help communicate the intended message when accompanying film or dance? What happens when we play opposing music to a performance, such as fast music to a slow, moving image? Is emotion in music universally understood? You will gain an understanding of musical accompaniment in film and television, dance and theatre, and explore the effects of music and its use in these creative expressions.
