Students will explore character through pantomime, improvisation and effective speaking using articulation, projection and breathing. Students practice writing for the theatre and explore various theatre roles and functions, while also studying acting, design, and dramatic literature to increase the enjoyment and understanding of what is required to prepare plays for the public. Students explore theatre history, study the great American playwrights, examine the cultural and historical contributions to theatre, and use the information to inform and improve their theatre knowledge and skills. Students use the basic elements of theatre design through practical application and projects involving costumes, props, and scenery.
Video Production
This course teaches the technical skills and creative principles required for single camera ('film style') video field shooting and post production using Final Cut Pro®. Topics include audio, video recording technology, composition, lighting, continuity, and editing. The student will gain experience planning, shooting and editing entertainment- and/or information-based video projects will be provided through hands-on exercises, projects and assignments. We will also be responsible for the Morning Announcements Show. We actively compete in the NC Filmworks Competition through the International Thespian Society.
Play Production
Play Production is an advanced theatre course designed to dive into your performance abilities. In this course, we will study various acting theorists from Stanislavski to Bogart and everything in between. Theses studies will be applied to various performance assessments including monologues, scenes, and a final production. In addition to working on theorists, we will complete research, work on technical elements, and complete any task necessary to produce the final productions. This course may also include various performance opportunities in the community during the class time.
