Acting for Non-Actors (IATAD-199)

Acting for Non Actors is a performing arts course designed to provide a foundation for the exploration and understanding of the complex art, craft, and discipline of acting. Active participation in class exercises and projects will increase your ability to express yourself dynamically when in the spotlight, at the podium, in presentations, in group meetings, in everyday situations, and on the stage. Exercises in self-discovery and self-development are intended to enhance the student's voice, movement, concentration, observation skills, listening skills, confidence, imagination, and awareness. Through basic acting training, you'll learn skills to help you overcome your anxieties about being in the spotlight, stay present and focused in the moment, and perform optimally and boldly when it is your time in the spotlight.
