Topics covered include Basic Stage Technique, Movement Values, Relaxation, Body Awareness, Physical Limbering and Alignment, Pantomimic Dramatization, Play and Scene Study. Students will receive an introductory appreciation of how an actor trains for a career in theatre, film, and television as they develop their own skills of physical, verbal, and emotional communication.
