THEA 240 Fundamentals of Acting
3 CreditsThis course serves both as an introduction to the basic craft and art of acting as well as a survey of the practice of acting in different historical periods. The student learns physical and vocal preparation; develops diction and projection skills; and explores the use of improvisation as a tool in both actor training and rehearsal. For in-class presentation, the student memorizes, rehearses, and presents both short solo pieces and scene work in conjunction with a partner. Audition techniques are also covered.
