Performance Projects: Play projects continue to be an integral part of the student's training, but emphasis in the third year shifts from the laboratory to the theater, with the addition of costume, makeup, lighting, music, and some scenery. Four to five productions are mounted, including one designed for two weeks of performances for intermediate and high-school student audiences, produced in association with Lincoln Center Theater Open Stages program. Other plays range from classical to contemporary and are open to an invited public.
Point of View: See First Year.
Scene Study: An integration of the technical, imaginative, and personal discoveries of the preceding two years through scene and exercise work, leading to meeting the demands of heightened characterization and style.
