Theater: ACTion!
One week: July 20-26, 2008
Turning text into life. Act like you mean it! An exciting week of movement and scene-study. As an actor, spend an exciting week discovering how to communicate with your body expressively through movement. You will use improvisation, scripts, music and other stimuli to find ways to create action. You will learn how movement helps to shape vocal interpretation. Participants should come ready to stretch, bend, grow, discover and be amazed at the possibilities!
The course will take place in the Furman Playhouse with a possible field trip to the Flat Rock Playhouse in North Carolina or Centre Stage in downtown Greenville.
Jay Oney serves as the chair of the Theater Arts department at Furman.
