Improvisacion y actuacion para principiantes
Improvisacion y actuacion para principiantes explora los fundamentos de la actuacion y
del trabajo en escena. Los estudiantes reciben las tecnicas fundamentals para desarrollar
confianza, apoyo mutuo y acuerdos entre los participantes. Con ello buscamos y
motivamos a los estudiantes a disfrutar del juego como tecnica, a buscar profundidad y
desarrollo en los personajes, sus relaciones y el uso del medio ambiente que el escenario
presenta. Al final de las clases, los estudiantes seran capaces de aplicar estas tecnicas en
juegos de improvisacion y pequenas escenas teatrales, y asi, triunfar en situaciones dentro
y fuera del escenario.
