Course Description
This class will prepare and perform a Christmas play at the end of the first semester. We will also be preparing and performing a play for our sperformance in April. Class time will consist of learning about dramatic concepts and proper performance techniques. Students will perform their monologues in class and will work together on partner dialogue and scene performances. Class time will be used for rehearsals on partner work and preparing for the Christmas and spring performances.
Students will be required to work on their monologues and script lines outside of class. Memorization will be required for performances both in class and on stage.
Outside-of-class work is required, including rehearsing monologues and memorizing scene lines. Students should expect to perform from memory both in class and on stage.
