THEA 621 Acting and Performance II

As a core element of the first year of training, the work of this two-semester class prepares students in multiple approaches important to contemporary acting and performance making. Meeting on a daily basis, classes focus on enhancing physical, emotional, imaginative and cognitive playfulness and expressiveness. We explore the elements of acting and performance making, including time, space, rhythm, comedic and dramatic dynamics, character, story, and performer/audience relationship. Training includes continued encounters with a range of techniques and disciplines, and progressive application to the creation of original performances.
