· The time of year I use this unit is at the beginning of year for second-year students because it helps review basic stage information and establish the foundations of what we do throughout the year in scene work and performances. The second-year student wants to further his or her study of acting.
· The purpose of the unit is to introduce the second-year theatre student to more in depth acting techniques that will help them make better choices on stage.
· At the end of the unit students will be able to understand the value of making rich acting choices on stage.
