| Program Description |
|
The BA (Honours) Acting course gives students the opportunity to explore many of the innovations in the training of actors from the past century. The methodological approach to acting is derived from the work and achievements of outstanding artists and teachers in the European and American theatre of the twentieth century. These include Lee Strasberg, Konstantin Stanislavski and Joan Littlewood.
The three main approaches that are considered are: · Stanislavski Method–from both the Russian and American approach. ·Meyerhold-Vakhtangov Traditions– these incorporate the work of Rudolf Laban, architect of Modern Dance and Yat Malmgren's work on character analysis.·Traditions of the two great theatre cities, Paries (the Comedie Française) and Vienna (the Burg theatre) looking at the influence of the great French actor-directors, Copeau, Dullin and in particular Jouvet.
