reorganization of the theatre program and the development of
a theatre minor, this one class in acting will be deleted
and multiple levels in acting will be substituted (see next
item). |
This course is one of two
upper-level theatre course choices required for the English
Language Arts student. According to the certification
officer, the new course (see below) will take the place of
TH 310. |

TH 211. Acting
I (3)
Designed for students of all levels, an introduction to the
basic tools of the actor: body, voice , and imagination |

III. New Course |
|
TH 220. Stagecraft (3)
An experiential learning course which focuses on the basic
techniques of carpentry, lighting, sound, scenic painting, and
backstage safety procedures |
Such a course is important in any
academic theatre program; aside from the emphasis on safety,
the student will benefit from acquiring basic building
skills while creating the sets needed for the plays. This
will be an important course in the theatre minor. |
