TH 211

This introductory course exposes Acting & Original Works students to the actor’s instrument and the habits of healthy performance, establishing skills, concepts, terminology, and goals from which subsequent training can spring. The idea of an Owner’s Manual, introducing the student actor to their instrument as a complex and unified system, allows us to discuss the mechanics of the body and the steps performers can take to remain emotionally and physically resilient. This course supports cross-disciplinary study within the program, but is intended for actors/performers.
