CH 2350 - Acting

Institution:

SUNY College at Old Westbury

Subject:

Comparative Humanities

Description:

This course will introduce acting as an intellectual and emotional process, giving each its due while at the same time respecting Theatre as Show Biz. We start with the premise that the foundation of acting comes from the spontaneous interaction of the actor with him or herself, other actors, the audience, and the script. Therefore, we will work with improvisation, games, and then apply them to the script to enhance the script's thematic intentions. We will examine scenes to understand their structure and their meaning and then build layers of emotion into them from the actor's experience. Prerequisite: ECI placement or equivalent
