Stage Movement IV

Catalog description

Year 2 Movement Discipline: The second year focuses on styles of theater such as Commedia Dell 'Arte and Melodrama. We will study the psycho-physical layering of persona, shadow and archetype of a character, while using the observational tools learned in Toolbox, and the breathing patterns and accents learned in the voice classes. Course will also cover various forms of partner dance to develop the skills needed to learn choreography, understand dance vocabulary, and study how to move with a partner, as well as Combat to establish a strong foundation of skills that will be used in productions during your time in the program and in your professional career.
