Theatre Arts 205 - Acting II

A continuation of techniques developed in Acting I with a greater commitment to the culture of collaboration. Concentration is on scene work with realist playwrights, contemporary masters e.g. Churchill, Shepard, Wellman and Parks and with new work by contemporary playwrights. Actor training will involve the embodiment of physical behavior, the visceral use of language, and more intermediate composition work with Viewpoints to develop and refine awareness. Practical tools explored in class are intended to offer the student greater vocal, physical, and imaginative freedom and clarity, as well as text analysis skills.
