Instruction: 

Instruction focuses on using a variety of dramatic disciplines, such as improvisation, role play, movement exercises and mime. Students prepare themselves for a dramatic presentation, tragedy or comedy, through extensive rehearsals (not reflected in the hours above). The course aims to allow students to become more aware of their use of language and gesture for curative work, and to participate in a social process. Through the group process of producing a play for performance, and through intensive individual coaching in speech, movement and acting, opportunities for the development of a wide range of individual and social capacities are created.
