Acting II 639 2 Credits

PREREQUISITE: ACTING OR BY PERMISSION OF THE INSTRUCTOR

In this one trimester course, students will demonstrate an advanced level of understanding of the acting process by applying the fundamentals learned in Acting I to the technical demands of verse and comedy performance, as well as the production of a full-length play.  Students will learn advanced techniques that supplement the fundamental acting method learned in the Acting course in regards to objectives, emotion, and reflection.  Students will practice working in stage scenarios involving different styles of staging, lighting and sound usage.  As students progress through the course, they will practice organizing their observations and reflections on acting theory and practice through the use of a daily journal.  As a final project students will, in either large groups or the whole class, prepare and perform a lengthy one-act or full-length play in class that demonstrates their use of advanced acting technique through a substantial dramatic work.
