Acting I: Beginning Acting Rigorous physical and psychophysical exercises attempt to break through the cultural and psychological barriers that inhibit an open responsiveness to impulses, to the environment, and to others. Attempt is made to free personal response within improvised scenes and, eventually, within the narrative structure of a naturalistic scene. Attention is given to various theories of acting technique. Students are expected to audition for departmental shows.

This Professor made the class uncomfortable and no fun. I had to cancel events because of the out of class demands are poorly timed, and the out of class demands sometimes have no date alternative though being a certain percentage of your grade. Do not take with this professor if you do not have a deep interest in acting.

Ashley is such a warm and supportive professor. I'm so lucky to be in her class during my first semester here at Midd. Acting was so fun, and the overall atmosphere of the class was just so great. Recommend this class to everyone, whether or not you have prior acting experience!!!

Acting 101 is such a fun class to take if you are looking for something new. It is not very challenging but I believe it is valuable when it comes to public speaking and going out of your comfort zone.
