Acting Realism and Naturalism (TPS-0046)

Fall 2026 · TPS 0046 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

Use of Stanislavski’s terms — given circumstances, through-line, sense memory, creative imagination and ensemble acting — to analyze Arthur Miller’s play “A View from the Bridge.” Exercises (dramaturgy, radio play, documentary, and masked improv) bring the class deeply into the moment-to-moment world of the play. Focus on stage-worthy acting, how an actor thinks and honoring the body's expressive impulses. Individual coaching and skill set analysis through scene work. Prior acting experience in productions and/or acting classes recommended. No prerequisites.
