THTR 103 Acting for Non-Majors

This one semester course orients the non-major student to the basic theories and elements of acting and dramatic interpretation, and focuses on script analysis, and exercises to develop concentration, relaxation, imagination, and the use of movement and voice. These exercises are applied to develop the student’s emotional and physical capacity to discover and interpret a monologue or scene study. The primary focus of the course is on the individual’s interest in acting, and to introduce the student to the kind of analytical and creative activities that acting entails, rather than teaching a specific technique. Students read several plays and be encouraged to attend performances Off-Broadway and at the Theresa Lang Theatre. Additional lab fee applies.
