| Description | In this course you'll develop the skills in staging stories as
both actors and directors. Through intensive scene work, you'll
either be working as an actor within the scene with partner(s) or
you'll be serving as the director of the scene, helping to shape
and sculpt it. We'll read the work of contemporary directors in
which they describe their own directing process and we'll also
read about various acting methodologies that can help assist
actors in stepping into and embodying characters with care,
authenticity, and nuance. This course will require substantial
rehearsal time outside of the classroom with your groups.
Enrollment priority will be given to students who have previously
taken an acting or directing course with me. Keywords:acting, directing, theater, storytelling, embodiment |
