THEA 308 - Intrmed Acting: Scene Study I

Credits: 4

This class is for students who wish to study acting in greater depth, building on the foundational acting techniques and concepts explored in THEA 207 or 208. Students will learn new psychophysical methods to apply to their monologue and scene study work. These new approaches will form the basis of the student actor?s investigation into the root of impulse, intention, and character. Assignments - reading, writing and embodied - will involve creative responses that will augment the actor?s experience of presence, partner, circumstance, and action. Rehearsals outside of class are required. This class is Repeatable.
