Description
This is an advanced course in the neglected art of oral truth telling. Using the tools of an actor and exegete, students imaginatively see what those eyewitnesses saw and say what they meant. This is not 'pretending' in the way most people think of an actor playing a role. Students play themselves as if they had witnessed the event, telling it in their natural voice, using the exact words of scripture from memory.
Lectures include:
- Story Text Analysis / Basic Vocal Technique
- Personalization Exercises / Setting the Scene
- Playing the Moment
- Scoring the Text / Coaching
- Dress Rehearsal / Coaching
- Student Performances
