Class Details
This course for advanced students of acting will focus on particular aspects of performance as determined by the instructor in each semester, in which the course is taught. Topics may include acting in verse drama, movement for the actor, voice, performing Shakespeare, aspects of physical theatre, non-realist acting, etc. The course will be taught by members of the Theatre faculty and/or Guest Artists, and may be repeated by students as instructors and topics change. Texts and reading assignments will vary depending on each semester’s focus.
This semester, Theatre 306 will provide students with the opportunity to work in a full-scale departmental stage production. The play will be announced in the preceding semester, and students will be encouraged to sign up for this course during preregistration periods. Preregistered students will be invited to audition, and will be enrolled if appointed for specific roles. During the semester, students will explore the play through analysis, supplemental research, discussions, and exercises. The process will include working on individual character and interacting with other actors in scenes, and the final performances will be open to the public at the end of the semester. Students will sometimes be required to attend rehearsals outside of the listed class times, especially in the evenings and on weekends. All students participating in the production must also be available for technical rehearsal on the weekend prior to opening and for all performances thereafter.
