Participation is important in every classroom, but it is particularly important in an acting class.
An acting class is about learning by doing and if you are not here to do activities, or if you are here and you don't commit to doing them, then opportunities for learning are lost. Your classmates need and depend on your commitment and the course needs and depends on your commitment in order for effective learning to occur. Your contributions are important and appreciated so be here and be ready to work. If you have any questions about your participation grade during the semester, do not hesitate to ask me about it. As stated above, this course relies heavily on student participation in discussions, exercises, scene work and responses to scene work.
