THEA 3500 - Acting II

Institution:

New College of Florida

Subject:

Theater

Description:

Acting II is dedicated to Character Development. This course uses a non-dramatic work by a classical American author, as a basis for character facilitation work. Course work is aimed at teaching participants to achieve a truthful transformation into an individualized character. Students are being encouraged to discover their own unique path to a character, based on essential character accumulation and facilitation techniques. This course is intended to serve students of various levels of acting expertise, who have taken practical theatre courses at New College. It builds on Nikolai Demidov's organic inner technique, while exploring higher levels of creativity, essential to playing "heightened" characters. Psycho-technical work covered includes exercises in Demidov's cultures of calm and passivity, as well as psychological breathing technique. An assignment in writing about theater in response to a live classical performance will be given during the course. This course is only open to students who have taken Acting I, Directing or Theatrical Adaptation at New College. Priority is given to upper contract students. Enrollment will cap at 12 students.Humanities LAC.
