DRAM 203 - The Actor’s Craft: The Study of Acting

Semester Offered: Spring.
1 unit(s)

The Actor’s Craft is an introduction to the tools and methods with which an actor may build a reliable artistic process. Through the use of targeted exercises, games, improvisation, scene study, and reflection, students will establish a basic technique to support their acting work. We will place our greatest emphasis on the principles of actor training introduced by Stanislavsky, but our exploration will be enriched by the techniques and practices of many theater masters, including but not limited to Uta Hagen, Anne Bogart, Sanford Meisner, Michael Chekhov, and Jacques LeCoq. Conrad Schott.
