THE 213 : Acting: Theatre to Film
This course will begin to acquaint the actor with the challenges that stem from the different environments where performances can occur. Students will perform scenes and monologues in a variety of settings (a large proscenium theatre, a small black box theatre, and on-camera) to explore how performance can be calibrated in a way that honors truthful moment-to-moment behavior while meeting the needs of the medium. Three lecture hours per week.
Gen. Ed. Competencies Met: Human Expression.
