Building upon the work of its prerequisite, Acting I, this advanced scene study course broadens the scope of plays, styles, and periods.  Students will examine plays written prior to the advent of modern psychology for acting techniques that do not rely exclusively on intention and motivation.  They may also examine modern plays written in alternative styles, (ex. Expressionism, Absurdism, Surrealism).  Students will focus on a particular playwright, period, or style to explore performance approaches beyond realism.  Students may also explore non-English texts in their original, relying upon their particular language or languages of study.
