THEA 1026

The Emotional Body

Physical Performance: The Emotional Body
Discover how to embody a character; slip under the skin of another being, gender, time, place, world; make a whole world visible through the articulation of your body; and evoke another era through the flick of a wrist. Join in an experiential journey through the body; learn movement and physical theatre techniques such as Laban, Alexander, Lecoq, animal studies, Rasa, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and Stanislavski. Discover how physicality can be utilized to trigger emotions. We will apply these techniques to stage monologues and scenes of text based theatre. The course is practice based with supporting reading and filmed sources. (Open to Theater and Dance majors, others by approval)
