From the catalog:

“An introduction to the basic theory, techniques, and history of European and American ensemble training for the actor, from the work of Constantin Stanislavski to the present. The course begins with exercises designed to improve performance technique, progresses to character analysis and development, and finally focuses upon scene rehearsal and performance. Students read and analyze texts, learning to evaluate them as compositions for performance.”

 

From me:

We are going to learn the basics of acting! We’ll be examining questions like:

·      How do I read a script and get ready to perform it?

·      How do I rehearse, improve, and grow as a theatre artist?

·      How do I give helpful feedback to artists around me?

·      How can I take these ideas into fields beyond theatre?
