New Works Ensemble
F05
Dina Janis
In this highly rigorous performance production class, students will work on new material by contemporary playwrights working in the theater today. During the term, several of these writers will visit as guest artists, working directly with the students on material they have been exploring as an ensemble. Extensive reading and discussion of all plays being worked on during the term will be expected. Actors will also be required to commit to at least six hours of outside of class rehearsal time per week, in addition to extensive research and preparation for these rehearsals. Students will also be expected to attend several field trips to see current productions during the term. Performance of the work-in-process can be expected in the form of evening presentations as well as Drama Forum showings.
