THR-120 Acting I


Credits: 3
Contact Hours: Lec 2 Lab 2
This course introduces the basic skills of actor performance which include using the body and voice as tools and working cooperatively and efficiently with others. While various acting theories are introduced, the Stanislavski System will be emphasized as the main theoretical basis and a shared vocabulary for the development and evaluation of inclass performances. The students explore the interrelation of onstage and offstage performances, drawing upon life experience as a basis for creating characters for the stage. Attendance at live theatre productions is required.
