TA 250/Introduction to Acting offers an introduction to stage acting as well as ways to apply acting skills outside of class and beyond theatre contexts. In a supportive studio environment, we will engage with body, voice, and mind through self-awareness that enhances communication. We will collaborate through rehearsal, coaching, and sharing work in progress as you develop a scene and monologue. You will encounter Stanislavski’s system for actors and other performance techniques through exercises as well as character and scene analysis. You will also build methods for giving or receiving constructive feedback about work as it develops.
Highlights: 

  • Explore physical and vocal awareness 
  • Learn and apply acting vocabulary 
  • Practice character analysis 
  • Collaborate to rehearse/share/refine: scene and monologue
