Description | This studio course provides a foundation in acting for the stage, giving the student basic techniques in freeing the imagination, body, and voice. Techniques include relaxation, focus, sense memory, physical awareness, vocalization, improvisation, and character analysis. Using acting principles drawn from Stanislavski and movement exercises from Viewpoints students will interpret classic and contemporary scenes from underrepresented playwrights of color not typically found in the traditional canon.
