Course Description

Advanced Acting develops young actor's abilities by providing the foundation of theatrical elements such as staging, vocal projection and clarity, movement, dance and singing.

 

Students learn the skills needed to create an expressive, detailed, believable and memorable character through the use of scene and monologue work, creating a character’s history, inventing a character’s physicality and understanding a character’s psyche.

 

Advanced Acting prepares students to not only excel in MTC productions, but also to have the training needed to find success in other productions they may pursue.
