Sickles High School – Acting 1

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course satisfies the Fine Arts graduation requirement. Through improvisation, simple scripted scenes, performance projects, and/or practical application, students learn to identify what makes performances believable and explore the tools used to create, articulate, and execute them. They learn to break down a scene from a character’s point of view, and also learn to sustain a character and build the relationship between actor and audience. Upon completion of this course, students have a strong foundation for future scene work, script analysis, and play production. Public performances may serve as a culmination of specific instructional goals. Students may be required to attend and/or participate in rehearsals and performances outside the school day to support, extend, and assess learning in the classroom.
