Advanced Acting: Realism

Catalog description

Students will develop their performance skills and experience with the stylistic concepts of realism and naturalism. Emphasis is placed on the work the performer must do to activate the text and explore relationships between characters. The audience/performance relationship associated with realism will be considered. Students will research and perform texts from a wide spectrum of cultural, economic and social perspectives. This is an advanced acting class that combines learning from previous classes in text analysis, theater history, scene study and vocal and physical training.
