Drama Focus
About
The Theatre Focus within the Academy for the Fine Arts provides students with the opportunity to develop the foundations introduced in beginning theater programs at their home schools. Coursework emphasis for year one and year two students is on theater history, theatre criticism, character development, script analysis, vocal techniques, movement philosophies, acting training philosophies, acting techniques, script writing, theatre business, auditioning and the preparation for a student entering college as a theatre major, particularly with workload expectations and rigor. Students in the program are required to attend evening showcases, performances and extra appearances. Please note, showcase dates are mandatory and are an essential part of the curriculum. Dates for all events are available on the first day of the class and on the AFA website. After school rehearsals will be held to a minimal amount to allow students to participate in their home school’s drama opportunities. All students who attend the Theatre Focus are expected to participate in their home school’s theatre productions and theatre activities.
