Work also addresses creative blocks and unproductive habits.The sequence then goes on to deliver rigorous exploration work on the ?Role? through a wide variety of dramatic texts and genres that the student will encounter in a career as a professional actor. It continues to develop the core principles introduced in the first year and adds more advanced techniques and methodologies.Finally, the B.F.A. degree will prepare students for a demanding transition into the professional arena.
