Upper School Course Description

  • Visual Arts, Performing Arts, and Media Arts
Advanced Acting Techniques
Semester-length class
No prerequisite

This class focuses on acting techniques and plays that center social and political issues. Through various exercises, scene work, monologue work, and performance, students will learn how theatre can be used as a mirror to society and potentially a catalyst to inspire change. There is no prerequisite for this class, and students who have no prior acting experience are encouraged to enroll. Topics, genres, and practitioners will change each fall, so this is a class that can and should be taken more than once. Upper School students may take this class over consecutive semesters and/or multiple times.
