MSU Theatre Department Launches First-Ever Actor Warm-Up Podcast
In conjunction with Digital Learning Day on February 25, the Michigan State University Department of Theatre MFA Acting cohort will launch a six-season podcast, entitled “The Moment Before: An Actor’s Warm-Up Podcast,” which is the only known podcast focusing on quick and convenient ways for actors to warm-up and prepare for auditions, rehearsals, and performances with each season consisting of a series of 10-minute exercises.
Beginning in fall 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic caused MSU to pivot to remote learning, Assistant Professor of Acting and Movement Alexis Black already was thinking of novel ways to engage student actors in movement exercises online.
