Acting 3

This course focuses on preparing and presenting roles from classical plays and poetic texts. Using heightened text from diverse textual sources, students will explore language as it applies to character and intention. Actors will build on their foundational acting craft with advanced vocal and physical acting exercises to enhance character.  Actors will develop textual analysis and rehearsal skills and will apply those techniques to performing text, choral pieces, and scenes from various sources.  The second half of the course will focus on the works of William Shakespeare.  In addition, students will examine the political, cultural, and social context of each play.
