Musical Theatre Scene Study (Sections II, III) Syllabus: 2018-19 Oakland School for the Arts – School of Theatre Instructor: Mr
Musical Theatre Scene Study (Sections II, III) Syllabus: 2018-19 Oakland School for the Arts – School of Theatre Instructor: Mr. Travisano Class Location: Room 202 Instructor Contact: [email protected] Class Meeting Times: Tues (Periods 7, 8) & Thurs (Period 7) Instructor Office Hours: lunch/after school _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABOUT THE COURSE In this course we’ll explore methods and historical practice of musical theatre dating from the so-called Golden Age of the 1950s to next generation of musical creators who begin to push the genre in a new direction in the 1970s (creating what are referred to as “concept musicals”). Through a close examination of specific musicals you’ll gain an in depth knowledge of the acting theories and techniques required to create fully-realized characters. You’ll also gain practical knowledge of musical theatre performance by directing, choreographing, and performing scenes from musicals of this period. Based on student feedback, in this course we’ll focus more intently on acting as a component of the art of musical theatre performance. We’ll explore non-musicals from this period as the basis for exercises in theory and practice. In fact, we’ll begin the year in this particular section with an intensive acting workshop around the work of Tennessee Williams. As we align with CTE (Career Technical Education, Performing Arts Pathway Standards B.1-6) throughout this course we’ll think about how you can apply what you learn in this class to what you can expect in a career or in college. You’ll do frequent observations and critiques of each other’s work and the work of established professionals from whom we can all learn.
