Acting and Directing Workshop - Acting

This course develops basic acting technique which focuses on the pursuit of objectives, given circumstances, conflict, public solitude and living truthfully under imagined circumstances. Practical skills are established through scenes worked on with student directors. This is a working laboratory where we will approach an acting method of identifying conflicts, defining objectives, and pursuing actions. Our goal is to leave the semester with confidence in our acting technique, stronger stage presence, collaborative skills for working with peer directors, and a means whereby to continue working and improving.
