In this course you'll develop the skills in staging stories as both actors and directors. Through intensive scene work, you'll either be working as an actor within the scene with partner(s) or you'll be serving as the director of the scene, helping to shape and sculpt it. We'll read the work of contemporary directors in which they describe their own directing process and we'll also read about various acting methodologies that can help assist actors in stepping into and embodying characters with care, authenticity, and nuance.
