YOUR FIRST TWO BFA YEARS

IN MY OPINION

WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

YOUR FIRST TWO BFA YEARS

FIRST YEAR

Training begins immediately, with six hours of voice and movement training per week and four of acting, providing a combination of studio practice and analytical/theory skills. Progress is evaluated and organized around a set of competencies in foundational skill development so you can start on the road to becoming a fully qualified, educated actor. Begin to understand and identify any limiting habits in acting, voice and movement, and to identify and mobilize new and more useful ones.

SECOND YEAR

Building on your foundational skills, you develop the next higher set of competencies in your craft, training in transformational acting and being an active contributor to the world of the play. Voice and speech class separates from movement class in order to focus on more specific techniques and skills, such as learning the International Phonetic Alphabet.  Movement class exposes you to a variety of pedagogies to help you transform into a greater level of expressivity through mask work and other physical theatre approaches.  Heightened text helps your voice and speech work develop into rich use and understanding of complex language.

AND THERE ARE STILL TWO MORE YEARS TO GO  FOR YOU GUYS THAT THINK YOU ARE 'A NATURAL'. {{{{ WELL NOT REALLY, MAYBE NOT AFTER ALL} (BUT EVERYONE TELLS ME, BLAH, BLAH.}}}
