Performing Arts Classes and Syllabus

[tearsofdawn.livejournal.com]

All classes will take place in a fluid-type of time so as not to interfere with the classes that you are already taking.

Theatre 101 : What is Drama? MWF
This course will cover the basics of stage movement, the different genres of stage and screen, and performing short scenes in front of the class. We will be watching different movies and stage productions as well, and discussing their merits and flaws. There may be guest speakers from time to time.

Theatrical Theory and Interpretation MF
This course will delve deeper into the origins of theatre and the part it has played in societies everywhere. There will be field trips to different productions in different realms. You will need permission slips.

Due to the intense nature of this course, only ten students will be accepted.


Theatrical Dance TTh
This course will cover all aspects of dance and the performance of dance. This is a sliding scale class, so no matter your profiency in dance, there will always be a challenge for you. We will study the different Dance methods and specialties and your final exam at the end of the semester will be a live performance.


Voice Performance: Choir TTh
This course will cover the training of your voice for singing in productions and making yourself be heard.


Advanced Theatre MWF
This course will be intense. From day one you will vote on two plays to be performed by the class for other classes at the end of the semester. We will work on the audition process, stage blocking, interpretation of lines, and how to interact with your fellow players.

This is a fast-paced course. If you are not positive that you can meet the demands and obligations, please do not enroll.


Directing 101 T
Directing 201 T
Directing 301 Th
These courses will focus on the more focused aspects of directing in the theatre and film. Each course is a semester long and at the end of the semester you will have learned the following:

101: What makes a good director as opposed to a bad director
201: How to make sure that you pick the right projects worthy of your skills and talents
301: How to put on a show from beginning to end


Theatre and Production
In this course you will learn all of the intricacies of producing your own show. This is a year-long course


In addition, I will be forming a Performance Arts Club. Auditions will take place next week. No matter what category of performing arts you fall into (Drama, Choir, Dance), the Club will be open to you. I will draw up a charter for the club sometime before auditions next week.

If this is something that may interest you, please reply in the appropriate thread.


Also, I find myself in need of two teaching assistants. Sawyer has volunteered to be one of them. Are you still interested in the position, Sawyer? TAs will get full course credit.


Looking forward to seeing you in my classes.

Max Fischer, here. My reputation may precede me, but I'll go through a cursory glance at my repetoire anyway. I'm a writer/director. Past stage productions included my hit play (2nd grade, went national) about Watergate, my interpretation of Serpico (9th), Apocalypse Now (with pyrotechnics) and La Vida Loca (summer reperatory theater). Short films have included The Man of La Mancha, The Golden Trigger and a silent reinterpretation of Ichi the Killer. I've written, directed, adapted, starred in or otherwise ruled in sixteen plays since I was in 2nd grade. I'm a bit of a wunderkind, I'm afraid.

I'd like to offer myself up as a TA, or president of the drama club. I bring six years of captaining the Max Fischer Players as auxillary, so I'm solidly up to the challenge.

Also, I'd like to take Directing 301, with Directing 101 as a back-up, if the homework gets too difficult.

I'd like Directing 101, please. ::smiles::

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Hell yes, I'm still ineterested.

[tearsofdawn.livejournal.com]

Good. I was worried for a moment that you might have changed your mind.

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Change my mind? Never, darlin', never.

[tearsofdawn.livejournal.com]

That's very good to hear.

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Ofcourse I'd like to meet with my lovely teacher first. Availiable for a drink, love?

[tearsofdawn.livejournal.com]

Whenever you're free.
