Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Theatre Arts.
There are many acting techniques that teach a physical approach to adult actors, but how can these principles be adapted for high school students? This thesis serves as a guide on how to teach acting to secondary school students using a physical approach. Beginning with a basic history of the system of physical actions, as conceived by Konstantin Stanislavski and further developed by Jerzy Grotowski and others, this guide defines the basic principles of physical acting, including physical actions, mental action, mind and body, interaction, tempo-rhythm, verbal action, physical characterization, and total action.
