BA W496 Acting and Community Engagement
For this compulsory first year Acting module students will work in small groups to study scenes from a contemporary play, learning how to divide a scene into units of action, how to discover objectives for a character and use the text to discover information - about the play, its themes and characters. You will workshop scenes in your groups, practising your learning from the early part of the course. By the end of this block of work you will be able to find a character's through line and recreate work achieved during the rehearsal process.
