THEA 510 - Actor Training: Body Work

Credits: Variable

An introduction to movement training for the performing artist that focuses on physical communication through physical action. Students investigate ‘self-use’ in areas of breathing, alignment, and body language in order to recognize and eliminate unnecessary tension and habitual physical patterns, and thereby free themselves to respond creatively. Students explore the principles of various physical theatre techniques, as well as the foundations of movement: time, space, energy and effort as they inspire movement through creative impulse. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Repeatable. Offerings Vary by Semester.
