This is an umbrella course whose offerings will change each year. Some are narrow, some broad; all are designed with four objectives in common: a. To focus on a particular genre, playwright, or approach to live performance. b. To combine theory and practice. Each class will have an ongoing balance of academic and on one's-feet work throughout the term. Homework assignments will include scene preparation, reading, research, and both individual and group projects. c. To explore the social and political context of the work at hand. d. To realize the integration required in all acting: ultimately, this is an acting course, and the end goal is what happens on stage. The acting lab courses are intentionally non-sequential. Students come to the study of acting with widely varying talents and backgrounds. The mix of levels enriches the collaborative experience and offers greater flexibility for students. No more than six courses can be taken from the Acting Lab/Advanced Acting Lab offerings during a student's Barnard career. Auditions are required for all Acting Labs and will take place the first two evenings of each semester. Please check with the Theatre Department office for specific offerings and audition sign-up. Courses will rotate regularly and may include the following: Acting Solo Performance Physical and vocal techniques for solo performance. Selection and performance of classic and modern texts, development of original material suitable to each student. Acting Improvisation Students will develop skills for ensemble work through improvisation, transformation, storytelling, and scene creation. Acting Commedia dell'arte A practical approach to the comedy of class conflict, both classic and modern, based primarily on the techniques and characters of commedia dell'arte.
