The M.F.A. program in acting functions as a working laboratory that seeks to exercise a living influence upon the theatre by providing renewable resources that future artists can both adapt and adopt.
The general purpose of the program is to develop creative ability rather than to teach imitative skills. Students and faculty engage in practical, historical, and theoretical research, trying out ideas and experimenting in a context removed from the demanding presence of public performance. Research activities encompass as many of the branches of the art of theatre as possible and many types of performance as well. Students explore the past, as the primary source of theatre techniques; the present, with its urgent need for constructive change; and the future, in which the theatre will again be reborn. From the outset, participants should recognize that acting, like any creative process, cannot fully be taught. The program seeks rather to provide a range of resources and a variety of techniques for students to use in their own ways. Intensive work on the fundamentals of movement, gesture, and voice develops each student's capacity to project a voice that reaches inside to every part of the body, outside to every part of the building, and inside again to the soul of every listener.
