Discovering the Actor Inside

By using theatre games, improvisation, and scenes students will learn basic theatre skills in a supportive, creative and fun environment. In addition, there is development of the actor's voice and movement, concentration and working collaboratively. Scene study will be explored using classic works by playwrights such as Shakespeare, Miller, O'Neill, Chekov, Williams, Albee and others. Students will track a character's journey through a scene and learn to further articulate the essential elements of characterization. Rehearsal with a scene partner outside of class is required. Classes often culminate in a scene night open to the public.
