THTR 223 Movement for Actors I
This course focuses on exploring the individual’s body as an expressive tool of the creative imagination and the actor’s craft. Through a series of guided studies and formal and informal exercises, students build confidence in their ability to translate impulses into physical action. Concurrently, students acquire relevant knowledge of anatomy, and are introduced to leading theories of spatial and movement analysis. Students are assessed on an individual basis in their development of dynamic alignment, breath connection, strength, flexibility, range of motion, stamina, and relaxation techniques leading to their kinetic application in acting choices. Additional lab fee applies.
