STAFFING:

PRE-REQUISITE(S)

SYNOPSIS:

Working  within  the constraints of a formal rehearsal and  production
process is essential to actor training.

This unit continues work on the Stanislavski system of acting.

Realism  is the dominant paradigm; Stanislavski is recognised  as  the
most relevant method for realistic acting both for stage and screen.

The  unit  also  introduces  students to  children's  theatre,  public
performance and the rehearsal process.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this unit students will be able
to:

1. demonstrate a basic working understanding of acting for camera
   and an integration of Stanislavski text and character skills
   within that medium. Students will also develop a more broad
   and detailed working knowledge of Stanislavski-based
   text/character skills as applied to non-naturalistic
   performance styles and texts. A component of this unit
   focuses upon expanding individual transformational
   capabilities through the use of such devices as mask,
   movement, abstracts, etc.
