THR-146 Movement for the Actor

A performance technique class, this course explores movement practices that enhance the actor’s expressiveness, performance energy, and body awareness. Studio work focuses on physical exercises and processes that strengthen the body, enliven the imagination, enhance concentration, and improve agility. The body is emphasized as the instrument of communication, as students examine space, tempo, rhythm, dynamics, and sensory response. Students learn to channel their physical and emotional energy into dramatic action for character and scene work.
