TH 111

TH111 Acting: Improvisation and Devising explores physical improvisational theater techniques that develop both individual creativity and ensemble acting skills. Students learn to apply these techniques to the creation of character and action based on text, and in the collaborative development of performance pieces based on assigned themes .The class focuses on working mindfully to create spontaneity, discovery, moving through discomfort and play. Students and faculty collaborate in an environment that encourages artistic risks – physical, vocal, emotional, and imaginative - while learning ways to strengthen and maintain resilience.
