In this course both beginners and more experienced performers are invited to explore the play-full art of acting. The course provides a space for discovery; through direct experiential learning students investigate the ways we use our bodies, 的声音, and imaginations as embodied storytellers, both as individual actors and as part of an ensemble. Students will grow in personal confidence and creativity, as they "step outside the box" of their everyday modes of self-presentation and relationship.The course will also expand students' artistic lens through the practice of identifying and interpreting the clues a playwright has woven into a playtext -- a process called script analysis. 通过它, students learn to think like actors - but also like playwrights, 戏剧编剧, 导演和设计师, as they build a foundational, holistic understanding of the entire col实验室orative production process. The course culminates with the rehearsal and performance of scripted scenes, chosen to allow every student to bring a character to life through their own intersectional identities.
