Movement and Combat III

THR 205 takes the physical vocabulary you built in the first-year movement and combat sequence and pushes it toward composition, using Mary Overlie's Viewpoints as the framework for organizing space, time, and shape into deliberate stage action. Expect a studio-laboratory rhythm: weekly practical sessions where you drill advanced choreography and stage-combat technique, then break into groups to build and present compositional pieces, with a midterm and final that test you on your feet rather than on paper. It's the bridge between learning isolated skills and thinking like a performer who can make choices, and it sets up the more ensemble- and scene-driven work in later acting and directing courses.
