Contemporary Theater: Theories and Aesthetics
THEA 302
Fall 2018 not offered
|
| Certificates: Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory |
By examining key moments in American theater history, the course explores the active relationship between theoretical thought and aesthetic innovation on stage. We reconstruct these moments by relying on a variety of documents and media, including, but not limited to, theater on film, play texts, documentaries, scholarly articles, manifestos, and reviews. The course highlights the ways in which groundbreaking works represent dynamic, diverse, and cumulative ruptures with the mainstream and ultimately shape how we see and create theater today. At the end of this course, students will: be familiar with milestones in theater history; demonstrate knowledge of critical performance and aesthetic theories; and use performance as a research methodology. |
