This course provides a foundation in theater and drama for students who have experienced theater first-hand as well as for those who have never seen a play. Emphasis on production practices as well as roles in theater will be used to introduce the customs and conventions of theatrical art and management, such as acting, directing, and stage managing as well as design (costume, light, set and sound). In addition, the course introduces historical movements and theories in theater as a way of engaging with trends in new plays and productions. Students should expect to attend a live performance during the semester as well as engage with playscripts from both classical theater as well as new works.

Acting for the Camera is an introduction to principles, techniques, and performance methods relevant to acting on camera. Students will learn to apply principles and theory to analyze filmed performances and scripts, and we will apply techniques and methodology by preparing and performing dialogue and scenes with partners in class.
