Comedy and Tragedy

Judy Wachler
Block class required of freshmen

Through the polarity of tragedy and comedy, freshmen will explore the world of drama, from the earliest Greek theater to contemporary American plays. Drama exercises will help to align the life of feeling and intention with body language, gesture, stance, and use of space. Along with reading and study, we will use improvisation and guided exercises to prepare a performance that may include shorter pieces and/or a full-length play.
