Academic Work
Fundamentals of Acting
CB Goodman
This course is designed to introduce and explore the building blocks of theatrical performance. The beginning of the semester will be dedicated to the act of physically being on stage with creating a personalized warmup, studies in viewpoints, Lecoq tensions, and learning how to listen through improvisation. The second half of the semester will be focused on breaking down scripts, creating characters, and performing short scenes. The goal is to finish the class with a strong tool kit of techniques that will serve as a foundation for many different styles and modes of theatrical performance. Substantial written and performance work is required.

Devising Theatre
CB Goodman and Sergio Costola
In this class, students will explore what it means to work without a pre-existing text and without pre-established roles and hierarchies. Students will do this by conducting research and by collectively developing original material for performance, through team-work and experimentation with the other students in the class.
Applied Voice
Dr. Julia Taylor
Students will discover and develop their voices through the art of classical singing with an emphasis on vocal technique, musicianship, and artistry. Weekly attendance of voice lessons and Combined Voice Studio Class, as well as the development of a regular practice routine, will be expected. Work will culminate in performances during Voice Studio Class and Juries. In addition, students will be encouraged to actively participate in SU Music Department events as performers and audience members.
