Subject:

THEATRE

Description:

This course is the study and practice of the art of acting through identification with one’s own personality and vision of oneself in the development of a character. Students will learn to appreciate themselves as human beings, with experiences, emotions, and intellect that must be employed in the development of a role, and to replace masks, clichés, and stereotypes with human behavior, instinct, and action in the characters they portray. Students will gain an appreciation for discipline, practice, and concentration as necessary components of theatrical success. Through lecture and object exercises, students will practice their craft and learn new ways to "wear the pants" of a specific role. They will learn to conduct research as an initial preparation step, as they study and explore a specific role to be portrayed in a final class presentation. Offered Spring odd
