Teaching Methodologies

The learning process is developed through integration into a working group; in the development of the expressive abilities of the actor, as well as in the exploration and investigation of his language in confrontation with others in the collaborative creation of work scenes.
The culmination of this process will be the creation of an exercise from a text or theme using other scene elements such as light, scenography, costumes, sound, and video.

The assessment is exclusively continuous (100%) as stated in Art 13.5 – Academic Regulation of the 1st Cycle of Studies at ESEC and will be carried out throughout the sessions, based on the following criteria:

1) Technical domain, application of theoretical knowledge and artistic creation, based on the exercises presented in class – 25%
2) Punctuality, integration in the work group and active and stimulating participation – 30%.
3) Elaboration and presentation of a dramatic exercise inan colaborative work – 45%
