專業(yè)概況

The USC School of Dramatic Arts MFA in Acting is a progressive three-year course of study that fuses two strands of actor-training: the classical conservatory-style that attunes the voice, body and the intellect to the demands of text and performance; and an innovative physical approach that draws upon the work of artists of the past 50 years.

Working with a faculty of accomplished professionals with extensive experience in theatre, film and television, the program enjoys a close-knit, intimate scale that fosters individual attention. Students develop their craft and their vision as artists, and also gain the knowledge, skills, flexibility, experience and confidence to work in any medium, form or technology. We nurture artists who do not merely adapt to changes in fashion, technology or the ‘industry,’ but will lead, create and innovate.

While the curriculum and faculty honor the uniqueness of every person, the program envisions a self-motivated, collaborative and flexible actor working with purpose to make choices based on her or his personal imagery, and having the craft to execute those choices with clear and decisive actions.

Learning Objectives

The goal of the USC School of Dramatic Art’s Master of Fine Arts in Acting program is to offer each actor-student a fully comprehensive, nationally competitive education and training in the craft and discipline of acting, guiding the graduate to achieve both creative and professional excellence in the field.

To this end, the program has four main objectives:

Creative. To train and develop the acting skills and to cultivate the creative talent of each actor-student so that, upon graduation, he or she is (i) able to create, embody, and play a character from any period of dramatic literature in any performance medium, integrating vocal, physical, textual, and imaginative resources; (ii) capable of self-generating new creative material, whether solo or as part of a team or group, in the media of theatre, solo performance, and film, including “virtual” auditioning; (iii) fully prepared to enter into a the profession of acting with a comprehensive understanding of the specific demands of the entertainment industry.

Corporeal. To instill the necessary strength, stamina, flexibility, and energy in each student-actor’s body so that, upon graduation, he or she has the necessary vocal, physical, emotional, psychological, and mental resources to withstand the demands of a professional career as an actor, and the ability to sustain and harness those resources ad infinitum.

Scholarly. To further the knowledge of each actor-student so that, upon graduation, he or she has a thorough knowledge of the world’s most influential plays and films, including a detailed comprehension of plays from several critical periods of drama (for example, Athenian tragedies, Elizabethan dramas, French comedies, post-war absurdism, plays of the modern era); and a cogent understanding of genres, differing theatrical story-telling techniques, and major figures of influence in drama, including authors, pedagogues, directors, and practitioners from many periods of history.

Collaborative. To give the actor-student the experience of working within an ensemble for three years so that, upon graduation, he or she has the ability to become a collaborative and productive member in any professional performance context; to extend the actor-student’s connections to the larger creative communities in local, regional, national, and international film and theatre professional contexts; finally, to challenge the student-actor to identify their role as a citizen of their preferred creative community.
