MPFV258 Breaking the Frame: Performance in and Beyond Cinema 3cr

performance and the influence of performing arts

in and beyond cinema. The class will be divided

into three modules; action, interaction and mise

en scene, concentrating on performance for stage,

public and screen. This class offers an immersive

experience where students will learn traditional

and non-traditional acting techniques,

contemporary performance techniques including

psychophysical and dance theater, develop skills

as performers through in-class physical training

and work with “non-actors” and professional

performing artists with the ultimate goal of

acquiring a unique vision as

directors/filmmakers. Selected viewings and

readings supplement each lesson, and occasional

guest speakers from the dance, theater, film and

art world bring further depth and context to the

subject matter.
