The Great (Acting) Explorers: A Brief Survey (YOU MISSED IT! BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR!)
Week 8, Aug. 11–15 / M–F / 1 - 2:30 p.m. • Location: Hall of Ed. (Sheldon), Rm. 201
Course #2013
Everyone’s heard something or other about “Method Acting.” But what does that actually mean? Whose method is it? What does it really entail? Is there only one method? Don’t most actors just wing it? This course offers an introductory survey of the basic principles of some of the famous and not-so-famous techniques created by great theater artists over the last century or two -- techniques that have influenced many of the actors we know and love today. Learn what actors and directors are really talking about when they refer to Stanislavski, Strasberg, Meisner, and others, and the fascinating differences in approaches to an art so many of us are tricked into believing is based on plain old raw talent.
Maximum enrollment: 15. Minimum age: 15.
Fees: 1 week (5 sessions) $88 • 1 session (first day only, at door) $22
