THE-1030 - Acting I (3)

Students with little or no acting experience will develop the physical and vocal skills required for theater performance through structured exercises and improvisations. The course will help students construct a physical character by identifying and selecting from character givens and by creating clear character objectives based on given circumstances, design an appropriate theatrical ground plan with organic blocking, break a scene down into units and transitions, evaluate effective acting choices by watching college and professional theater productions, and fully understand and participate in the cooperative process of acting. The course does not fulfill the humanities elective required for General Studies.
