This is a two-semester course in Acting for Third-Year Actors & MTs who will explore performance within directed structure in various non-Fourth-Wall forms of Theatre including: Greek Tragedy, the Greek Chorus, Moliere Comedy & Brecht. This is not a course that will aspire to provide any correct way to play various styles. Rather, it is a course in which to acquire new tools & perspectives when working in new theatrical worlds. Goals include: to find the appropriate level of external expression to meet the demands of the particular text & its directed world, & to fill the Form believably & passionately; to make active choices within a directed framework; to learn to work within industry standards; to learn the nature of the actors homework in a directed framework; to include the Audience in the work.
