Course Information
Description
In The Actor/Director Collaboration, Brisa Areli Muñoz will guide students through the dynamic relationship between actors and directors in both scripted and collaboratively created theater. Drawing from her extensive experience working with artistic professionals and non-professionals across sectors, as well as international collaborators, Brisa will create a space where students can explore the liberating potential of collaboration in all types of performance. Focusing on creative risk-taking and collective creation, students will engage in exercises and rehearsals that examine how trust, communication, and flexibility build the solid foundations for a strong working relationship between actor and director. Throughout the course, students will learn how to navigate the process of bringing both written scripts and collaborative work to life. By the end of the semester, students will have a deeper understanding of how collaboration shapes the creation of theater and strengthens the work between director and performer.
