We will attempt to have two showings of each scene with the exception of the very first scene. There will be some time for rehearsal in class, but students will need to find time outside of class to rehearse for scene performances. Journals will be checked very frequently. Acting is an art form that requires absolute discipline. As a student of acting you will be expected to be disciplined and dedicated to the requirements of the course.
Strong commitment is absolutely necessary for growing as an actor.
There are no exams or research papers, but you will be reading, writing, researching, and analyzing throughout the semester. In order to develop a personalized process for character development you will need total commitment to the work of the class. As mentioned, this class is highly subjective, which means that your grade will not be based on responses to questions which are graded as right or wrong. Your grade will be based on your commitment to the class. The syllabus and course outline is subject to change in order to meet class needs.
