Instructor: Kris Heller Ages: 14-Adult DIRECTING: Through in-class exercises, improv games, practice, and instructor feedback, students will explore the world of directing. This term students will focus on script analysis, creating movement, history of the director, types of staging, stages, and communication. Students will be challenged to take a text and create a world of the play, blocking, and design. Students will work with set-pieces, conflict ideas, and stage blocking movements to understand how to create pictures and character flow in order to tell the playwright's story. In addition, there will be work with specific tasks that will help scene pacing and creativity. Students must have completed Acting Scene Study, Teen Acting or a different approved acting class as a prerequisite for this class. This class can be retaken as many times as you want.
