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.

I enjoyed the class. It's great for beginners to take. Craig is very enthusiastic, and we can immerse ourselves in learning to perform. He also encourages his students to explore the body, voice, and language more. The exams are all performances of a theater excerpt. Rehearsal is the most time-consuming. However, the private rehearsal with the instructor is very useful; he will give you suggestions based on your performance.

It was a generally easy course if you fully buy in. It was definitely a step outside the comfort zone, but if you take the class with a friend, it makes it much easier. There is minimal homework, but you will perform skits in class.
