Course Descriptions
BEGIN ACTING
This course will introduce new theatre students to basic performance techniques as well as develop the students’ knowledge of what the acting profession encompasses. Together, the group will explore the principles of stage acting through voice, movement, ensemble, and scene study. The course includes a physical theatre component, which will develop the body’s potential as an expressive story teller, and game based improvisation, where story is created by applying imagination to a basic structure. The students will build basic acting, creation and performance skills and, through their work with the group, will understand the importance of commitment, communication, and concentration.
PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION
Students will develop their acting and performance skills while being introduced to technical aspects of theatre such as set and lighting design, stagecraft and props, costume and make-up, and stage management. Through the course activities, students will build on core acting skills and learn, through guest lectures, about the “behind-the-scenes” contributions of technical theatre professionals to the world of theatre.
