A more advanced study of the work of the actor building on the techniques learned in Basic Acting and Voice and Movement. This class will explore the teachings of Stanislavski while focusing on scene work and scene study through the use of “heightened language” texts and classic playwrights (Euripides, Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Ibsen). Students will be required to present three (3) scenes (chosen by the instructor). All class work and exercises will focus on closely examining the text, embracing the given circumstances, playing an action, building ensemble, and responding to the partner through a detailed exploration of Stanislavski and An Actor Prepares.
