Curriculum
British Theatre Acting - 6 credits
Practical Shakespeare
Shakespeare’s true rhetorical style is unfamiliar to many. This class gives you a new fluency in language.
The work focuses on individual plays as well as on the Sonnets in order to place Shakespeare firmly in his own era as well as in ours.
Culminating in a showing of work-in-progress this course also includes a visit to two productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company at
Stratford-upon-Avon.
Acting
Working mainly on British plays of the 20th century, students learn new skills and styles that enable them to expand and develop existing abilities. In addition to the regularly scheduled class, students have individual weekly tutorials to work on a wide variety of speeches from a period spanning four centuries, 1600-2000. During the first week there are special group projects based on a major British novel.
