Class description
Spring Drama 353 class will be built on increasingly challenging exercises originally derived from Uta Hagen's teachings.
The first part of the quarter will focus on "The Actor's work on Self:" concentration, recreating aspects of ones own natural behavior, sensory work, altering circumstances, complicating circumstances and beginning character work.
Eventually students will work in pairs with emphasis on real interactions in fictional situations. There might be some scene work later in the quarter.
