course is to realize and understand that acting is, “living truthfully under
imaginary circumstances. This course will consist of a series of improvisational
based exercises that allow the actor’s instrument of imagination, instinct and
emotion to be freely engaged. This course is designed to develop an
understanding of basic acting techniques through the Sanford Meisner method as
well as an in depth analysis and performance of a scene from a contemporary
American play such as Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller and William Inge. The
fundamentals of this course will provide a solid foundation so that the actor is
able to utilize these skills in a performance.</FONT></P>
