THEA 1104 - ACTING 3

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course focuses on preparing and presenting roles from classical plays. Using heightened text from diverse textual sources including ancient and modern plays and poetry, students will explore language as it applies to character and intention. Actors will build on their foundational acting craft with advanced vocal and physical acting exercises to enhance character, will develop textual analysis and rehearsal skills, and will apply those techniques to performing scenes (ancient Greek playwrights, Elizabethan playwrights and other lyrical writers). Students will perform three scenes from various historical periods, at least one of which will be from a Shakespearean text. In addition, students will examine the political, cultural and social context of each play.
