Students analyze method acting as a movement within the history of the modern theatre. Students demonstrate the techniques of method acting, especially those of Constantin Stanislavski, and apply these theories to the craft of acting. This application uses acting as a vehicle for learning self expression, focus, discipline, and confidence when performing for an audience. Students learn to overcome the fear of being in front of people by focusing on purpose rather than on ones self. These objectives are demonstrated by the acting student through pantomime, voice, improvisation, monologues and scene study.
