TH 221 - Scene Study

Credits: 4 credits

This intensive acting class builds on the first-year acting courses to ensure a personal commitment in the way students approach and experience scene work and acting technique. Through exercises and improvisations, students increase awareness, strengthen the ability to talk and listen, and practice recognizing and experiencing moment-to-moment acting. They then apply these skills to dramatic scripts. Students learn how to read a play from the actor’s perspective and how to break down and explore a scene in terms of given circumstances, relationships, and character needs.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Restrictions: TH 123 and TH 124.
Note(s): The course meets three times a week and includes weekly sessions in Movement and Voice.
