Description
This course works with the student’s instincts, passion and imagination to develop the skills needed to create truthful, dynamic characters in performance. Techniques include text analysis, improv, life studies, and vocal/ physical/ environmental exploration. In prepared scene work, students learn to craft specific actions by exploring human behavior within the world of the play and work with a scene partner on moment-to-moment response. The work guides students to hone observational skills, of self and others. Class materials include contemporary poetic realism and an introduction to Shakespeare.
