Theater Appreciation Course (THE2000)
One of my first dreams when I used to be a kid was being an actor. I have participated in various acting shows in high school. I used to see it as a terrific way to express myself wearing different masks and personalities. I found power in acting whereas I was able to be the character I wished to be one day. A character that might not be part of my identity. In acting, this was not impossible. This course taught me the tactics of acting and the history behind it. The course includes attendance at live theater productions, small group projects, and in-class discussions of viewed productions.
