THE 210 - Acting II – for the Theatre Major

(3 credits)

45 contact hours
Prerequisites: THE 111 ; ENG 101 ; SPE 101
A continuation of THE 111, the course focuses on advanced techniques to refine character development, further explore textual and sub-textual script meanings, begin advanced scene study, and continue and enhance organically derived interpretations based on finding and playing a scene’s action through the rehearsal process. The course also examines both the craft and business dynamics of a career in acting. In-depth discussion and execution of areas related to the business of acting include getting the audition and job, preparing headshots and resumes, unions, casting directors, agents, managers and contracts. Students are expected to develop a resume, headshot, portfolio of audition material, and game plan for auditioning, both locally and regionally.
