COURSE CONTENT
SEMESTER 1
Introduces specific acting terminology and refines techniques in improvisation. Introduces ‘changes and choice’ through improvisation. Introduces 6th W – Wants. Revises and adds to scene creation tools with the 5 P’s (people, place, problem, props and physical purpose). Encourages students to identify their own goals for the semester, as well as to begin approaching acting as a craft.
SEMESTER 2
Builds upon the actor’s abilities to demonstrate choices and changes in improvisation and apply these improvisation skills to story and character. Actors work as a team to create and develop short films using the 5 P’s and explore changes in character through the story. Actors create the story in Term 3, then in Term 4, it’s production term! Actors perform in one film and work behind the camera on the other as crew. The films are shown on the big screen at Premiere Night in March the following year.
After completing Intermediate Level Prep students graduate and move into Intermediate Year 1, bypassing the placement audition process.
