THEA 101 The Elements of Acting

The purpose of acting is to portray honest behavior under imaginary circumstances. This class will introduce students to a practical, on your feet approach to acting using script analysis, improvisation, and acting techniques grounded primarily in the concepts of Objective/Tactic and Given Circumstances. Ultimately the goal of all acting is to combine the precision of preparation with the spontaneity of improvisation. The class culminates in a showcase performance combining scenes, monologues, and improvisation.
