EXPLANATION OF COURSES:
THAR Drama Class Fundamentals [/color]
Credit: 1.5
Basic drama classes introduce students to the fundamental skills of the physical and emotional craft of acting through the study of specific acting methods and exercises. Drama students practice character analysis and learn how to create a dramatic character. Students may learn by performing the works of classic playwrights, such as Stanislavsky, Meisner and Chekhov. Acting skills are developed through improvisations, scene work, focused theater exercises, group work and monologues. A fundamentals class is usually taken at the beginning of a program.
