THEA 012. Acting II

This course provides a foundation for ensemble devising-developing original work through collective creation. The in-studio process will be divided into four parts: training the actor’s instrument (body, voice, presence) and cultivating collective attunement; developing a shared performance language through improvisation dynamics with movement, voice, and text; generating creative writing; and synthesizing these elements into original scenes inspired by short prompts, which we will refine by using different organizational structures within the ensemble. Actors will continue to train, develop their writing, and rehearse their pieces outside of class, to be presented in front of the group.
