Theatre teaches discipline. Theatre means being there. Be aware, this is a full six-week session. You cannot learn this material by merely reading a book. Attendance is critical -- as with any rehearsal or performance. Theatre is discipline.
Plan so you will be on time, dressed in comfortable clothes and low-heeled shoes that allow you to move, sit on the floor, bend, or do anything the exercises require. You will be expected to participate fully and enthusiastically in class exercises and to rehearse and memorize performance projects outside of class time.
If you are assigned a scene partner, it is not fair to leave them hanging.
