PCA 259-TH - Theatre Experienced Through the Human Voice

Min Units: 3
Max Units: 3
The purpose of this course is for the student to gain an understanding of the theatrical art form through examining the role of the human voice in performance. The student will undertake the study of the role of voice in theatre via experientially learning Kristin Linklater’s Freeing the Natural Voice technique, attending and assessing theatrical performances, and through required reading, writing assignments, analysis, and discussion of the role of the human voice in theatre and all human exchange. A background in theatre is not necessary. Please note this course focuses on the speaking (rather than the singing) voice and can be applied to all careers where speaking is important.
