THEA 210 - Movement for Actors

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3HU
This course is designed to increase the actor’s physical range of motion and gain awareness of how the body contributes to the process of acting. Students will use techniques in pantomime, viewpoints, and Capoeira to explore the use of gesture, space, and rhythm onstage. Students will participate in daily movement exercises, improvisations, and scene work that allow them to increase their physical imagination. We will focus on using the body to listen, express emotion, create character, and pursue actions. The goal of the class is to provide skills that allow students to gain comfort and confidence in fully engaging their body onstage.
