Interdisciplinary Arts 0243 - Acting 2: An Intensive Scene Study Lab: Learning how to build character and craft dynamic actions onstage

Building off of the foundations of Introduction to Acting, students will strengthen their performance skills by doing partner-scenes selected from both classical and contemporary plays. Like any good scene-study course, this class will require students to memorize and rehearse their scenes outside of the classroom. This will be a deeply collaborative class, and students will be engaging in various acting exercises meant to deepen and widen their scope of imagination, physical movement, and vocal range. We'll also be doing reading throughout the semester about the craft of acting, and students will also be asked to do short writing responses that document their journey and progress throughout the semester.

Time and Narrative Students are expected to spend a minimum of 6-8 hours of work outside of class time per week
