THA 2000 Acting II: Devised 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 a devised ensemble work 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 devised workshop ensemble theatre piece. Students will undertake lessons and exercises in storytelling and character work, using the voice and body, imagination and ensemble techniques. Techniques in devised theatre creation will be examined and taught, and ensemble collaboration will be a guiding principle.
