PFA 250: Intermediate Scene Study

2 credits

The third semester of required acting courses, 0192-250 focuses on process, not result: how a character is developed, taking into account investigations of past life, relationships, conflicts and intentions. The increasingly complex process of character development throughout an entire script is the course’s concern. (Learning Goals:CO;Distribution Reqs:Arts)

Learning Goals

0192-250: INTERMEDIATE SCENE STUDYStudents will:1) build upon previous acting classes, in which such basic subjects as ‘beats,’ and the techniques of text analysis, formerly used for monologues, are now expanded for use with scenes with two and three people;2) focus on the processes involved in ‘listening and responding,’ basic processes underlying more advanced scene-based acting;3) practice the techniques of ‘living in the moment’ while handling text and physical blocking believably.

*The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here.
