Theatre

This yearlong course seeks to encourage an enjoyment and deeper understanding of different types of film (narrative cinema, documentary, and abstract film) through a critical understanding of how films work artistically, technically, and socially. Through film theory and film production, students will apply a range of critical approaches as well as receiving instruction in video and film production.

Students study the design, scenery, lighting, makeup, sound, costumes, and public relations necessary to ensure successful theatre productions. This course may be taken more than once for credit.

In this course, students survey the theatre arts. They will have opportunities to experience and appreciate dramatic literature and to participate in the creative processes of performance and production with emphasis in skill development and theatrical opportunities. Students will be encouraged to determine and investigate personal areas of interest in theatre arts.
