THEATRE COURSES
THEATRE ARTS 1 A/B Grades 9-12 Prerequisite: None

“Today You are You, that is Truer than True. There is no one alive who is You-er than You.” In this class, students explore the basic elements of acting and movement, play performance, theatrical history, and technical design. Whether you have never been on stage before, or you are very familiar, there will be something new to learn for everyone! No acting experience is necessary, and any student in any grade level is welcome to enroll. Come join RUHS Theatre Arts!
THEATRE ARTS 2
Grades 10-12 Prerequisite: Theatre Arts 1. Year long course Meets UC/CSU “F” and “G” Requirement
This class is designed to further develop the skills obtained in Beginning Acting. We will continue to study acting through a series of exercises and explorations in self-awareness, physical/vocal centering, emotional awareness, connection to partners, and character development through monologue work, and audition/professionalism skills. As the majority of students will be Sophomores/Juniors, a focus on college and careers in performing arts will be included to enhance their future experience. Students will also study directing, and work on creating originally written and designed pieces for performance. This course is designed to fit the desires and skill level of the students involved, making it collaborative and challenging.
THEATRE ARTS 3
Grades 10-12 Prerequisite: Theatre 1, plus Audition (by appt. with instructor)
Year long course Meets UC/CSU “F” and “G” Requirement
Students are able to audition for this course to continue their pathway in theatre arts. Advanced Drama students focus on career preparation, advanced scene work including Shakespeare, and are even able to work with professionals in the industry. The class attends the DTASC festival where schools compete in several categories of acting and participate in exclusive performance opportunities for the high school. Towards the end of the year, Advanced Drama holds a festival of One-Acts that are completely student directed, produced, and performed!
