I denna uppsats undersöker jag hur jag som operasångare kan nalkas skådespeleriet och sammanföra det med musikens och sångens uttrycksmedel.

The opera, The Pilgrim's Progress, was written by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1949. "The Seven Songs" are analyzed for performance, examining the elements of music and text of the songs, including melody, harmony, form, vocal line and accompaniment, with the intent of forming conclusions in regard to their usefulness as singular selections, or as a group, for performance.

Susannah is the opera written and composed by American composer Carlisle Floyd in 1955. The opera is based on a story from the Biblical Apocrypha. For the live performance of this opera at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke, I designed the animations that projected onto a screen which was designed and fitted as a part of the set design. I created the series of animations that enhanced the story of the entire length of the opera. This project was in collaboration with Opera Roanoke's 2016-2017 season. Carlisle Floyd's Susannah was performed at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke, Virginia on April 28 and 30, 2017. / Master of Fine Arts

Abstract svenska Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur sångundervisning idag tar sig an interpretation, med inriktning på musikergymnasium. Idag känner många sångelever till begreppet och har varit i kontakt med det i sin undervisning, men då jag själv utbildades var så inte fallet. Denna studie undersöker därför om och hur utveckling skett på området. Interpretation är även ett bekant begrepp för den som ägnar sig åt exempelvis musikal, eller opera, men det är inte lika vanligt att man talar om begreppet inom jazzvärlden, således har jag valt att inrikta mig på att undersöka de afro- amerikanska genrerna, och med det avses för det mesta pop, soul, jazz, visa, blues. Studien använder sig av intervjuer, deltagande observationer, samtal och litteratur. Jag har närvarat vid två musikgymnasium, och informanterna i studien är sångerskor och sångpedagoger inom afro-genren. Analysen visar att inom litteraturen på området rör det sig främst om metodik för musikal och/eller opera, dock är dessa metoder även anammade inom de afro- amerikanska genrerna för det mesta. De måste dock modifieras och användas annorlunda då sångare inom afro- genren oftast icke har så givna scenarion att förhålla sig till som inom opera och musikal, vilket jag upptäckt under mina deltagande observationer vid två musikergymnasium. Detsamma framgår i de intervjuer jag genomfört.  Undervisningen i interpretation blir således ett verktyg för att utveckla sin förmåga till uttrycksfullhet.   Nyckelord: sångare, interpretation, jazz, utbildning, musikal, opera, sång. / Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate how teaching song deals with interpretation, especially in the afro- american genre and with focus on music-profiled high schools in Sweden. A lot of younger students of music and song today are familiar with the concept, but so that was not the case when I was a student, so I wanted to examine what methods are used, and how. The literature mostly revolves around interpretation in relation to opera and musicals, so I wanted to examine what methods are used in the afro- American genres, such as pop, soul, folk, jazz and so on. The difference being that in those genres you don’t have the same elaborate story or scene to relate to as you do in opera and musical. I went about the study in several ways, all informants involved are singers and/or song- teachers, and I have interviewed, and observed, and discussed and read literature in order to find out just how interpretation is integrated with the song- education of young singers of today.   The analysis shows that often the same methods are used as in dealing with opera and musical, but the expectations on how you use these methods vary, and it is often more used as a technique to develop your skills of how to be express full in your singing, than to how you should act on stage. What you lose in the afro- american genres is the given scenario that often opera and musical- students have to take into consideration.   Key- words: singers, interpretation, jazz, education, musical, opera, song

Este trabalho busca contribuir para o debate sobre o ensino de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, assim como para a própria profissão do Arquiteto e Urbanista, mostrando a importância da representação gráfica como meio arquitetônico, fazendo com que se repensem as linguagens gráficas e as ferramentas utilizadas pelos profissionais da área, assim como seus ensinamentos e suas aplicações nos cursos de graduação. Para isso, foram levantadas e sistematizadas as principais formas de linguagem e representação gráfica arquitetônica utilizadas pelos estudantes de arquitetura, procurando conhecer melhor quais são estas ferramentas e como elas são incorporadas nos trabalhos desses estudantes e profissionais. Através do estudo de caso, faz-se uma análise dos projetos vencedores do concurso Opera Prima [que se coloca como referência da produção das faculdades e escolas de Arquitetura e Urbanismo no Brasil], desde a sua criação, em 1988, levando em consideração quais as formas de representação utilizadas pelos projetos vencedores e os temas projetuais recorrentes, buscando, inclusive, desenvolver uma correlação entre esses dois elementos. Como resultado gráfico, é proposto um infográfico que mostra algumas dessas imagens analisadas e catalogadas de acordo com a tipologia de projeto e a representação utilizada em cada uma delas. O trabalho também estabelece relações entre essas formas de representação e a inovação tecnológica no período em questão [de 1988 a 2018], visto que novas ferramentas digitais de projeto e representação passam a ser utilizadas, interferindo tanto no processo projetual, como no resultado gráfico das peças finais entregues. Somam-se a isso breves relatos sobre a história do ensino de Arquitetura e concursos no país, visto que o objeto de análise deste trabalho é retirado de um concurso de estudantes. / This paper aims to contribute to the debate on the teaching of Architecture & Urbanism, as to the professional field as well, highlighting the importance of graphic representation as an architectonic mean, rethinking the graphic language and tools used by architects and professionals, as well as its teaching and application on the undergraduate course. For that end, the main graphic languages and representations used by architecture students were thoroughly researched and systematized in hopes to better understand such tools and how they are incorporated in the work of these students and professionals. Through a case study, the Opera Prima Contest winning projects were analyzed since its creation in 1988, taking into consideration which forms of representation were used by them and the recurring projectual themes, in order to build a correlation between these two elements. An infographic is presented as a way to show some of these images that were studied and catalogued in accordance with the projects typology, and the representation used in each one of them. The study also establishes relations between these forms of representation and the technological innovation on the time in question [1988-2018], since new, digital tools became more and more popular, changing not only the projectual process, but the graphic result of the finished pieces. Added to that are short stories about the history of the teaching of architecture and contests in the country, since the subject of this study is taken from a student contest.
