PPS-651A Introduction to Performance Practice

3 Credits

This class explores the art, play, technique and rigorous fun involved in bringing a strong presence to the unique space of performing. The class begins with a focus on physical and vocal training, moving through improvisation, generating material, and working with prepared material. Time and timing, space, tenderness, chaos, intention, perception, lying, and the imaginary are examples of the kinds of ideas we will be using as tools to move us into exploratory spaces.
