TH 201SEM - Script Analysis

Develops fundamental analytical skills that actors, directors, and designers use to prepare a wide range of dramatic texts for rehearsal and production. Students will learn an approach to moving a play from page to stage, with emphasis on understanding and analyzing the building blocks of drama: dramatic structure, given circumstances, character, language, action, tempo, rhythm, and space. Students will improve their ability to communicate ideas about staging plays orally and in writing and begin to collaborate toward a shared artistic process and product. The ultimate goal is to realize the freedom and responsibility of theatre practitioners as interpretive artists.
