THEA 350 - Acting III (3 credits)

(Prereq: THEA 260, B.F.A. program only, or by permission of the instructor) A studio course that expands upon the foundations learned in Acting I, Acting I: Studio and Acting II, Acting II: Studio. Actors are challenged to explore elements of character and style through the study of the Non-Realist genre. Students broaden their knowledge of acting as they approach material that makes increased demands on their physical, vocal, technical and imaginative resources. The techniques for character development, the pursuit of action and the understanding of text will be employed in the realm of a modernist approach to theatre. Topics may be drawn from contemporary, modern and avant-garde drama. F.
