Theatre 242 - ACTING II: NEW AMERICAN PLAY

Acting II offers intensive focus on different, specific topics pertaining to acting training. This course can be repeated for credit up to three times provided the content is different. Prerequisites: Acting I (THE 141) or its equivalent.: This class explores the particular demands and opportunities that come with acting in a range of recent American plays. Many of these plays refuse to give themselves over to one particular “style,” moving easily, or not so easily, across modes. Actors working on these plays must find ways to fill each mode, to let go of preconceptions regarding style and form, and to embrace the power of the language and movement in these works, which are often conspicuously theatrical. Enrollement limited to 14.
