Open to Any Brown/RISD graduate/undergraduate student that has taken TAPS 0230/Acting or the equivalent. The goal is to strengthen the actor's ability to construct truly meaningful characters by removing any reliance of "type" and/or immediate "identification" with the characters they will portray. Students will be expected to read critical essays and plays, conduct research, and prepare to act in scenes that challenge the actor to confront the specifics of character and situation beyond the Eurocentric ideal.
Acting Outside the Box: Race, Class, Gender and Sexuality in Performance.Įxamines the relationship between social and cultural identities and their representations in dramatic literature and performance. "Getting laughs," as a goal in and of itself, manufactures unproductive pressure to "be clever" or to "succeed" in ways that are inconsistent with truly creative engagement. However, "comedy" or "improv comedy," which has a different set of intentions altogether, will be strongly discouraged in this course. One of the intentions of this course is to generate truthful, creative, and collaborative play, which can lead naturally to material that is funny or humorous as an organic outcome of the moment. By cultivating and developing basic performance skills including spontaneity, self-awareness, creative use of the body and mind, access to the imagination, and collaborativity, this course has applications for actors and other performers interested in all types of performance as well as those interested in improvised performance specifically. This course is designed to help students explore the development of relationships in theatrical space without the benefit (or confinement) of a script. Once the weather allows, the class will likely move outside for in-person instruction all virtual learners will still be able to fully participate via Zoom from these outdoor locations on campus. *Note: this course will be taught online with a focus on embodied creation and on viewing and responding to contemporary performance, utilizing the Viewpoints as a language for theatrical deconstruction. All performers can benefit from this rigorous investigation of time and space and the pursuit of cohesive ensemble. An indispensable practice for ensemble awareness, the Viewpoints Technique invites us to think more expansively about composition across performing arts disciplines. The Viewpoints Technique systematically breaks down the elements of TIME and SPACE, providing a precise language for makers to communicate about dynamic staging and offering performing artists the tools to direct themselves more successfully from within composition. Viewpoints Technique: The Moving Body in Relation to Time, Space, and Ensemble.
