Acting/Directing LAB: BHS/CLC Collaboration

Acting / Directing Lab

Gain additional acting experience by working with CLC Directing class students. CLC Directing students each need a few actors (there are 16 directors) that are willing to regularly work on small scenes and serve as "guinea pigs" as they learn and try out new directing techniques.

How to get involved: Stop by Albrecht's room and SIGN-UP by Friday January 13th. Show up at the infomational meeting now scheduled for late January. Pick up a list of Acting Lab requirements (provided by Patrick Spradlin of CLC Theatre) at that meeting. There may be some paperwork we need to complete so that you can also earn credit for the experience -- more on the details later... for now, if you want to do this, make sure you SIGN UP NOW!

• Requirements include: fairly regular attendance during the Directing class (scheduled for Wednesdays from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm) -- you shouldn't skip, since your director's grade may depend on your showing up so he/she can demonstrate his scene! Also note the Directing class may not need to work with you EVERY week. We'll get more info on just what the commitment entails when we meet with Patrick Spradlin, CLC professor, at the kick-off info meeting.
• perhaps a few open time slots outside of the directing class in case your director needs to work with you addtionally...
• a sense of comitment -- you will need to be able memorize your lines.
• Time -- Feb. to early May, mostly Wednesday evenings.
  
• What you can get out of it: additional acting experience.
• learn new ways to approach your acting craft
• EARN credit -- students who commit and show up consistently, fulfilling the Acting Lab requirements may earn an elective credit... see Albrecht for details!
• Because BHS Drama and CLC are collaborating, we can work out schedules in advance, which means that working with the CLC Directing class SHOULD NOT conflict with either the One-Act, Tairy Fales or our Spring Play.
