Intermediate Acting Course Description
Intermediate Acting takes a closer look at text. From the Greeks to Shakespeare, students read
plays and learn about the historical evolution of this art form and engage in scene study. Focus is
given to Shakespeare and the actor's use of verse and prose. Students should be prepared for
challenging readings and performance texts. (Acting One is the prerequisite for this class)
Advanced Acting - Course Description
Advanced Acting emphasizes the creation of theater.
Students study principles of directing and create their own pieces.
Students also study the creative process through a variety of ensemble-based methods in addition to the interpretation of a given text.
This is a demanding course and should only be considered by students who are interested in the craft of acting, not the social or performance benefits. (Intermediate Acting is the prerequisite for this class)
