THA 401

This course continues to build on concepts explored in THA 400 and THF 400 with a focus on performance, creating and producing new work and technical training of the actor and his/her instrument. A professional orientation component led by invited speakers from industry including agents, union representatives, financial advisors, self-producing artists and casting agents is introduced to prepare for the profession. Student-generated work will be selected for the New Voices Festival. All students will participate either as creators/producers, performers and/or directors. Students must pass all course components and evaluation of performance presentations in order to graduate.
