Practice will accompany study throughout the term. Evaluation will be on written papers and on practical work. Weekly meetings of two hours will be on Monday afternoons and further practical classes will be either on Wednesday mornings or, in smaller groups at other times and days, by individual arrangement. This course is designed especially for Juniors. It is NOT in a sequence of courses in the Department but no one will be admitted who has not completed successfully at least TWO acting classes.
Entry is by permission of the instructor.
The course explores the way various theater activities, role playing, story telling, theater games, movement, improvisation, and so on, may be adapted for specific disables populations and gives students an opportunity to work directly with a group of disabled children or adults in a community setting. One session a week will meet on campus and will focus on the learning and adapting of theater activities. Theater experience will be helpful but is not a prerequisite. It is expected that the course will be made up of students from a number of disciplines including theater, dance, education and psychology. Theatre 441 and permission of instructor.
