THEA 0252 - Acting I

Credits: 3

A course in the art and craft of the actor designed to develop personal outer and inner resources and to practice work habits and tools to approach the actor's task with greater understanding. The course uses readings to introduce practical, experiential, hands-on exercises employed in the classroom to develop the actor's mind, body, and voice, to cultivate a greater personal awareness of self, space, and ensemble, and to develop the imagination as a tool to generate creativity and artistry. The course is primarily focused on the acting techniques developed by Stanislavski and his American disciples, although other approaches may also be covered.
