<div>Hello everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Professor Eric Barr would like to offer the course "Acting for Writers" next year ('11-'12), but he needs a group of students who are interested in taking it in order make the case to the administration that it should be on the books. I would love to take this course and so I offered to send out an email to field interest. Here is the description from the General Catalog.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>THEA 214. Acting for Writers (4) Lecture, 2 hours; dis-<br>cussion, 2 hours; outside research, 2 hours.<br>Prerequisite(s): THEA 264 or THEA 266. Examines<br>the theory and practice of acting to enable writers to<br>
better understand how language reflects character, as<br>well as how actors turn the written word into spoken<br>language. Includes text work and improvisation.<br>Credit is awarded for only one of THEA 114 or THEA<br>214.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I believe THEA 264 and 266 are the playwriting and screenwriting workshops. I can't speak for Professor Barr, but I'm sure accomodations could be made if you don't have these prerequisites. THEA114, which is a lower-level version of the same course, has undergraduate creative writing courses as a prerequisite. With a small group, I think this course could be personalized to really fit the interests of the students.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>No, commitments necessary. Just reply to me (not the whole list) if you're interested.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
