The LSU MFA in Acting Program provides rigorous physical, vocal, emotional, and critical actor training approaches. The MFA acting students are the primary acting pool for the LSU Equity resident theatre company, Swine Palace. To promote holistic actors, candidates create and perform a 15-minute solo work of theatre as their thesis, concluding with an oral presentation on the creative process. A traditional written thesis option is also available.<br><br>The training offers daily practice and seeks to develop the actor's body, voice, imagination, and critical thinking, all of which enables actors to live truthfully and playfully within given circumstances. Actors are encouraged to free themselves from unnecessary tensions and to be responsive to the full range of internal and external impulses for action with boldness and courage.<br><br>The program provides in-depth actor training in contemporary and classic texts with a focus in both theatre and film. The LSU School of Theatre is the central home of Seven Pillars Acting, a modern and comprehensive acting technique based in Meisner and Stanislavski teachings. MFA acting students study Seven Pillars Acting in their first year and progress in their second year to focus on application skills, style, and heightened text. Graduate students may have the opportunity to earn a Seven Pillars Acting Teaching Certification.
