Teaching Expectations: Responsibilities of this 3/3 course load will include teaching:

1. Acting I and Acting II, a demanding two-course sequence for sophomore theatre majors focusing on realism. Taught in the fall semester for 6-hours per week, Acting I introduces students to the fundamental tools of the actor's process; taught in the spring semester, Acting II deepens that development by moving into scene study with a focus on increasingly challenging realist texts. Though rooted in Stanislavsky, both courses incorporate work drawn from the individual instructor’s particular training background and methodologies.
2. At least one of the following junior/senior-level acting styles courses per semester: Commedia dell’Arte, Acting the Song, 20^th Century Experimental Styles (which could include the Absurd, Beckett, Brecht, and others), or Neutral Mask. Other specializations not listed here – except Shakespeare and On-Camera Acting – may also be of interest.
3. Technique courses related to the instructor’s particular teaching specializations, which could include, but are not limited to, Movement for the Actor, Voice & Speech for the Actor, Improvisation and Audition Workshop.
