Learning Goals
0192-300: PSYCHOLOGICAL ACTING IStudents will:1) confirm a working knowledge of creating a character, of developing relationships with other actors in a working environment, and active incorporation of objectives as an actor’s tool in the rehearsal process;2) work with material from Chekhov and other masters of psychological realism to practice advanced rehearsal techniques using the Stanislavski vocabulary;3) deepen their personal approach to the psychological grounding and sub-textual script-content inherent in modern, psychologically based realistic drama;4) explore deeply the use of a “process’ method of working, rather than a “goal” oriented one.
