Course Catalog Description
While continuing work begun in Theater 10 & 109, 110B focuses on the actor’s relationship with complex language. The course draws upon the world canon, from ancient to contemporary work and including both dramatic and narrative traditions, to consider the unique challenges and rewards of performing elevated text. Characterization, dramatic action, technical proficiency and clarity, attaining emotional availability, & cultivating an enriched relationship with text are also explored. Through exercises, improvisation, scenes, & monologues, the actor learns how to transform intuitive creativity & complex language into performative excellence.
