Overview
"Emotional Intelligence (EI) training can be used in the college acting classroom to add depth to learning and provide a concrete vehicle for faculty to address emotions. Along with movement and voice, EI education will create a strong foundation and give acting students the skills they need to hone their craft. This paper will provide support for integrating EI into the college acting curricula and reflections on the implementation of an EI unit into several acting courses. Anecdotal and empirical evidence points to the need to address emotions in the college classroom. Acting training professionals must rethink acting techniques that stimulate emotions and then ignore or misuse them. These methods often leave the acting student alone with emotions they do not understand and cannot control. This thesis suggests that EI can enrich the college acting curricula while educating and empowering students to both regulate and shape their emotions." -- Abstract
