THEA 210 Acting 1
Acting 1 serves students as an introduction to American behavioral-based actor training: its techniques and theory. We begin with an exploration of self in performance with partnered scenes from American realist scripts. We work through observation and exercises to develop an understanding of action and emotion in the actor's art. Our work in the course concludes with the presentation of scenes selected from the plays of Henrik Ibsen. This course is intended for first and second year students. Juniors and seniors may enroll with the permission of the instructor.
