T-ST 71010 - Acting for Non-Majors
Acting can be exhilarating, cathartic, and also difficult to do. It is a discipline, as specific as singing, dancing, or even rocket science. It is a practice in teamwork, trust, vulnerability, and letting others in. Through a variety of exercises, improvisational games, ensemble work, and acting approaches, students will explore the essential elements of acting, creative expression, and collaboration in the theater. Students will learn a variety of techniques to:
• release tension and free up the voice and the body, and to connect to one’s impulses and intuition.
• develop heightened concentration, sensory awareness, listening and reacting, communication, teamwork, and spontaneity.
• create a character.
• use character objectives, tactics, obstacles and stakes to communicate with fellow performers and the audience.
• express one’s emotion authentically using the voice, body, and imagination.
• create ensemble and work in relationship with people, objects and places.
Ultimately, through in-class devised scene sharings, acting students will convey stories, ideas, emotions, and provocative questions that reflect or challenge humanity.
