Course Descriptions:
FS 114A & FS 114B - Creating and Performing for Stage and Screen
|
|
|
|
|
|
This new two-quarter course captures the experience of a professional company of actors, from the inception of a new work, through the rehearsal process, to the premiere. The course will operate in the mode of a laboratory, in which ideas are brought to life and tested through the practice of doing. Special emphases will be placed on acting, story and the adaptation of all types of literature (including novels, biographies, short stories, poetry, essays, diaries, letters, journals, newspapers, and transcribed interviews) for stage and screen. Opportunities for students to contribute to design, technical and multi-media aspects of the project will also be available. All work culminates in a public performance on campus and/or in downtown Santa Barbara at the end of the second quarter. |

This sequence is an advanced version of the FS 114 series, with a particular focus: we will research, write, improvise, and perhaps find new ways of creating a multi-media theatre piece. The FS 109 courses will provide in-depth possibilities for creative exploration, for finding ways to bring the art you sense within yourself to the stage and screen.
