THTR 126 - Building Characters

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Theatre

Description:

We will study various techniques used in actor training, research and the employment of the tools used to bring characters to life. Students will explore the lessons made available through the process of embodying characters that may be quite different from yourself in terms of attitudes, beliefs, ethnicity, gender, and more. This undertaking prompts us to research and explore what drives each character-their needs and wants-deepening our insight into human nature. At the same time, students will investigate the vocal and physical elements of actor training. (WCore: WCFAH, RE)
