Description:

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.
