Drama

So much more than acting, this course will provide a broad overview of what constitutes “drama” and “theatre.” Learn about the roots and rich history of theatre; experience the basics of acting, including warm-up routines, acting exercises, and how to create character. Become familiar with the spectrum of theatre study and careers in theatre. Understand the technical components of theatre production and gain insight into theatre’s counterparts, including radio, film, and television.  Expect a mix of textbook study, on-your-feet participation activities, current articles, and video clips that bring the theatre world to the classroom. This class is a semester skinny class, but exceptions can be made for students who only want to do a term.
