Course Summary
Taught by actors and directors and working with individuals in areas as diverse as theory, technique, improvisation, voice, mime, movement, and script analysis, students discover and master the nuances of different genres as they prepare for a class performance at the end of the program.
The Oxford Prep Experience takes place at Corpus Christi College, which was founded in 1517. Early visitors to the college included Catherine of Aragon and Erasmus of Rotterdam. Corpus Christi College was also the venue for the translation of what became the King James Bible, in 1611.
Corpus is located on a quiet, cobblestoned street in the medieval center of Oxford. Students choose a Major and a Minor to study for the month.
