Students continue to build their foundational acting skills as they explore and apply approaches to heightened text, including Shakespeare and contemporary experimental drama. They develop their vocal technique with a focus on expressivity and advanced physical techniques and extend their movement work through Neutral Mask training and exercises in clown. They also deepen their understanding of rehearsal and production processes by taking on an advanced crew role on a mainstage production, such as Apprentice Stage Manager, Wardrobe Assistant, or Light and Sound Operator, and observe much of that production’s rehearsal process.
