THEA 0151 - Approaches to Acting

Credits: 3

Students engage with the historical origins, development, and evolution of theatre performance throughout the ages and across cultures. Students examine significant theories and figures in the history of performance, and are introduced to various performance concepts, principles, and techniques, as well as different approaches to actor training. Through active learning, students work on the performer's instrument: the body, the voice, and the imagination, practicing performance skills such as storytelling, dramatic structure, sensory work, movement, improvisation, and psychophysical action, culminating in several performance projects.
