This study documents Mavis Taylor's teaching of Improvisation at the University of Cape Town and provides a critical analysis of the improvisational methods she uses in the training of actors. It places her teaching within the wider field of improvisation understanding the importance of knowledge of 'self for the craft of acting. There is discussion around the role of the imagination and spontaneity in actor-training, and debate is raised regarding the concepts and practice of sensory and emotional memory training. The significance of teaching structure and form as a method for students to manipulate the medium of improvisation is argued, proposing that the creation of alternative meanings and 'realities' is the essence of acting. 2015-09-14T08:10:02Z 2015-09-14T08:10:02Z 1994 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13849 eng application/pdf Department of Drama Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
