THR 251 - Acting II:Scene Study

Institution:

Muhlenberg College

Subject:

Description:

Building on the foundations taught in Acting I, this class moves the student actor into scene work. Primary focus in the class is on American realistic text with the possibility of moving into increasingly difficult texts from the modern canon. Class will explore the tools of the actor, including text analysis, critique, commitment to action, linking choices to the larger structure of the play, theatricality, language, impulse work, and style. Actors will be judged on their individual growth and also on their ability to work as an ensemble member within the class. Playwrights may include Hellman, Kushner, O'Neill, Churchill, Fornes, among other writers. Films may be shown as an example of technique. Class will meet for four hours per week.
