THD 220 - Performing Possibilities: Art of Performance

4 credits (Fall or Spring)

This class is designed as an intensive laboratory for students to explore different modes of theatrical performance and further develop and refine their skills as an actor/artist. Over the course of the semester, students devise a series of one-person and group performances that explore text, movement, sound, space, duration, light, sensory interaction, audience-performer relationship, and ritual. As a laboratory, this class provides a safe space to explore the potential of performance as a vehicle for personal and social change. Although every student will be completing the same assignments, students will have the creative freedom to develop and refine their own, unique artistic voice.

Prerequisite: THD 110, THD 120, THD 130, THD 140, ART 111, ART 134, ART 155, MUS 100, MUS 112, MUS 116, or any 200-level Theatre course except THD 200 or THD 201.
