THEA 1802

This first year performance course is open to any student, regardless of experience. However, entrance into the next three years of the Acting program is by audition only. Classes are designed to provide the student with an understanding of what it is to act and communicate through words and movement. The approach will be practical and collaborative, focusing on two major aspects of the craft: Context and Action. Each unit will be comprised of exercises and scene study. Exercises and explorations in class are centred on group work and collaboration, which will strengthen communication and improvisational skills. Students will challenge themselves physically, vocally, and imaginatively, while working collaboratively in a trusting, dynamic environment.
