Description
This course explores the basic concepts and principles of acting as applied to performance, public speaking, and understanding group interaction. Students will learn to quantify and identify objectives and tactics as they occur in situational culture and climate through discussion, improvisation, and group exercises. Approaches to public speaking, preparation, give-and-take communication, and basic acting vocabulary will be explored. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to apply self and group analysis and apply them to give and take situations that manifest in production work and social dynamics. This class promotes a safe and open environment to explore and study the “human condition†as it applies to public speaking, interpersonal communication, and performance.
