THA 2000 Acting II: Story Theatre Project

(formerly THA 200; COM 221; Acting II)

This course is a continuation of the skills developed in THA 1000 Acting I: Script Analysis and THA 1240 Voice and Speech for Acting. In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of creating an ensemble production from extant literary texts, through the exploration of imaginative voice and body work to create atmosphere, set, character, and story. The course will culminate in a presentation of a workshop ensemble theatre piece. Students will undertake lessons and exercises in storytelling and character work, using the voice and body, imagination, and ensemble techniques. Lessons and exercises will be drawn from the Michael Chekhov technique, devised theatre techniques, pantomime techniques, and story theatre techniques.
