Course Description:
As a foundation in acting technique, exercises and presentations contribute to the process of freeing the student’s imagination and creativity for application to scene study and class performance.
Major Takeaways:
Despite acting for many years in plays and musicals throughout middle and high school, taking a course in acting allowed me to approach theatre as an academic. I analyzed the plots of several plays and examined the playwriting process, from initial inspiration to final production. Through monologue performances and duet scenes, I improved my confidence and public speaking skills, eventually designing and coordinating our end-of-semester One Act Program.
