THEA 370 - Acting Shakespeare - Solo-work

HC ARHU

2 credits
Note: Limited to the 16 students in THEA 207 and THEA 307 to continue their work as a group but instructor will consider special cases such as a theater major returning from a study away program. Open only to actors.

This course will introduce a sequential methodology for handling Shakespeare’s Verse (and other heightened language), based upon clarity, poetry and dramatic action. These skills will then be integrated with American method skills of acting - and applied to solo work on monologues and sonnets. Assignments will also include detailed textual analysis. This class is intended for students who’ve already studied acting at the College level (THEA 100).
