THEA 285
Fall 2023 not offered
|
This course may be repeated for credit. |
This studio course will explore performance and adaptation of classical text. A wide range of exercises and techniques will be used to cultivate a sense of ease and freedom, and to develop the imagination, relaxation, concentration, focus, and technical skills required for heightened language and text. We will be utilizing Greek myths and characters as archetypes. The course will also include a devising portion, whereby the students will offer up an original contemporary take on their chosen archetype/myth via any style of performance, including song, poetry, monologue, scene, and film. Independent writing and attendance at Hadestown in Hartford is also required, and the course will end on March 8, 2023. |
