Acting I & II
The art of acting is behaving truthfully and expressively in imaginary circumstances. In acting classes at Clemson, students explore acting through ensemble exercises, theatre games, improvisations, and text analysis. Acting students study exercises in physical relaxation and vocal flexibility in order to connect their imagination to their physical and vocal expression. The imagination-body-voice connection is emphasized as a way to free the “human instrument” from habits of conditioned expression. They work to discover their own creative impulses through enhanced self-awareness, observation exercises and sense memory. Students are taught how to integrate this impulsive, personal work with a series of creative and skill-based exercises, supported by assigned textbook readings, in-depth script analysis, and a structured rehearsal process. Fundamentals of Stanislavski, Chaikin, Meisner, Strasberg, Bogart, Hagan and others are utilized in class so students can develop their own individual acting process. Poetry, monologues, audition techniques, scene work and improvisations culminate in an end-of-semester class presentation of scenes.
