Description

(Lecture/Lab Combined with variable meeting hours) This course is a practical and theoretical study of the principles of actor technique and role analysis. Students are expected to engage in performance work from a range of styles and aesthetics and in the theoretical work of major practitioners/theorists in the field. Lectures, discussions, and student presentations are accompanied by workshop exercises and scene studies. Students are required to meet with scene partners for rehearsals outside of scheduled class times. This course is the foundation course for subsequent courses in the acting stream of study.
