Acting III

Catalog description

This is a two-semester course in Acting for Third-Year Actors and amp; MTs who will explore performance within directed structure in various non-Fourth-Wall forms of Theatre including: Greek Tragedy. This is not a course that will aspire to provide any "correct" way to play various "styles". Rather, it is a course in which to acquire new tools and amp; perspectives when working in new theatrical worlds. Goals include: to find the appropriate level of external expression to meet the demands of the particular text and amp; its directed world, and amp; to "fill the Form" believably and amp; passionately; to make active choices within a directed framework; to learn to work within industry standards; to learn the nature of the actor's "homework" in a directed framework; to include the Audience in the work. Prerequisite: 54-301
