THR331(2) Theatre UAF

SPRING, 2007 Mon. 3.30 - 6.30 pm

This course will be focused on the art (science) of stage direction -- a brief history of its development, functions of the director, and components of the theatre arts. Specific areas to be studied are script analysis, composition, working with actors, and organizing a production. The student will direct two scenes and a number of shorter performance assignments dealing with focus, movement, and prop. There are two prompt books (for midterm and final exams), scene analyses, rehearsal schedules, and one written critique of a UAF Spring productions viewed in performance. Two tests on Dramatic and Performance theory.
